At post #136, on 9 Feb 2023, in the first thread and in post #40 of the second thread there was an announcement that the calendar sync had been restored. If you are trying to use old links, prior to Calendar 4.0, then the sync will not work. A new link will be required. Since there is continued work on Calendar 4.0 there may be temporary problems or outages. Sync links may need to be re-established.

That is the default setting. In Member Tools, go to Settings. Under Calendar there is an option called Months to Show. Set it for 12 months and you will see almost the whole year ahead. You can choose 6 months if you do not want the whole year. The default is 3 months, which shows the past month and two months ahead.

The calendar months to show setting usually sticks with an update, but occasionally it reverts to the shorter time and you would then have to reset it.

All day events in the "Churchwide Events" calendar are midnight-midnight Utah time, so will appear as such on your synched calendars. This issue does not appear to happen on the web version of the calendar, but does happen in the member-tools calendar.

To see if you're affected by this, have a look at how Easter Sunday appears in your various calendars.

We use the private stake presidency calendar to record when we're away on holiday. We've done this by entering holidays as all-day events from the first day to the last day.
When it syncs (Google calendar and on iPhone), it only shows the first day of the holiday.
I've changed it to an all-day repeating event.
I don't know yet whether this works, as Google hasn't decided to sync yet. But I've hopeful this will be a workaround.

It doesn't appear that there are settings anywhere for notifications and subscriptions to be changed any longer.
