Diagnosis

Environment

  • Confluence version 7.x or above

  • Team Calendar version 6.02x

Cause

The current Team Calendar version is not compatible with the newly upgraded Confluence version.

Solution

Resolution

According to Team Calendars Version History, TC 6.0.2x is compatible with Confluence Server 5.10.7 - 6.14.3. After upgrading Confluence to 7.x, you'll have to update the Team Calendar app to a compatible version (6.0.47+).

  1. Log in to Confluence as a System Administrator

  2. Go to Manage Apps

  3. Locate the Team Calendar app

  4. Upgrade to the latest compatible version by clicking on the "Upgrade" button
