Troubleshooting

Use this page as a first response checklist for common issues.

General

How do I reset the event cache?

If something is not working as expected, the first thing to try is resetting the event cache.

This forces the plugin to re-read all events from all your sources. This is a safe operation and often fixes synchronization or display issues.

Why are my events missing?

1. Follow the Reset Event Cache steps above. 2. Reopen the calendar view. 3. Verify calendar source is enabled and visible in Settings.

Events & Calendars

Why are my remote calendars not updating?

1. Run the command Full Calendar: Revalidate remote calendars. 2. Recheck provider credentials and account setup. 3. Confirm network access and provider limits.

Why are my reminders not firing?

1. Confirm reminder settings are enabled. 2. Confirm OS-level notifications are allowed for Obsidian. 3. Test with an event that starts within a short window.

See: Reminders and Notifications

Why are my event times wrong (DST/Timezones)?

1. Check display timezone settings in Settings. 2. Confirm source calendar timezone assumptions. 3. Re-test with new event creation in target timezone.

See: Timezone Support

FCR Command (NLP)

FCR Command not found

Make sure the plugin is up to date. Search for "FCR Command" in the command palette.

Wrong date resolved

"next \<weekday>" always advances forward, never backward. "Next Wednesday" on a Wednesday means one week later.

Phrase conflicts

Rules are ordered by specificity — "in 3 hours" will not accidentally match "in Work calendar".

Category phrase at the start not applied

Use category <name> with your title text after it (for example: category work FINA 3203 N19 at 5pm in work). If category coloring is enabled, the NLP layer fuzzy-matches to saved category names.

Time not parsed as expected

Prefer anchored time phrases like at 5pm or from 3pm to 5pm. Compact forms such as 430pm are supported when preceded by at or from.

Calendar not matched

Smart matching is case-insensitive. Check that the name exactly matches your calendar's display name in Settings.
