### Troubleshooting

| Issue                       | Solution                                                                                        |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **No updates appearing**    | Verify the URL is correct and resubscribe; ensure auto-refresh is enabled in calendar settings. |
| **Entries out of order**    | Check your calendar’s default time zone; some apps may misinterpret UTC timestamps.             |
| **Calendar not visible**    | Ensure the calendar is checked/enabled in the calendar list. Refresh the app or browser.        |
| **Duplicates across feeds** | Subscribe only to the feeds you need (e.g., skip “Full Calendar” if you use “My Calendar”).     |
