Below are a few common issues and questions!
The most common cause of this issue is due to the module not having updated past version 1.3.75. If your Simple Calendar version is on 1.3.75 please follow the steps in this FAQ.
If you are on a version newer than 1.3.75 and still can not update the configuration or notes please submit an issue on GitHub.
This is due to an update bug when on version 1.3.75 or earlier. Follow these steps to get the latest version:
In versions 1.x.x of Simple Calendar the toolbar button was under "Token Controls".
In versions 2.x.x of Simple Calendar the toolbar button was moved to be under "Journal Notes". There is also a button to open Simple Calendar under the Configure Settings menu.
This move was made as Simple Calendar does not have anything specific to do with tokens and is largely a journal tool, so it makes more sense for it to live there.
Simple Calendar does its very best to stay synced with all other time modules and systems that provide their own clocks/calendars, sometimes though it isn't perfect.
One setting to make sure is set correctly, regardless of module or system, is to make sure the Game World Time Integration setting is set to "Mixed". Almost everyone will need that setting set to Mixed, the other options are for very specific use cases.
Listed below are some other modules and systems that get asked about:
Pathfinder 2E implements its own calendaring solution that is not easily integrated with. In most instances Simple Calendar will sync correctly with the PF2E world clock, provided the configuration setting "Pathfinder 2E: World Time Sync" is enabled in Simple Calendar.
There are a few edge cases where time in Simple Calendar will be off by a day from the PF2E World Clock. This has to do with how each addresses leap years and is not easily fixed from the side of PF2E.
Simple Calendar and SmallTime should work together correctly. If Simple Calendar is installed SmallTime should automatically switch to using Simple Calendar as its source for date and time.
If the time takes place before the Pathfinder 2E's epoch (The date the world was created, resetting the world clock will show the exact date). Simple Calendar and SmallTime will be off by 1 minute. This is a known issue with SmallTime.
Simple Calendar offers a very customizable way to change how the time and date are displayed, all details on how you can customize the display can be found here.
For a quick setting to a 12-hour clock though you can follow these steps:
