Good evening Barbara and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We are sorry to hear about the settings not updating as expected after hitting the save button.
I would love to help you with this topic.
As a first troubleshooting step, could you please provide us with your complete system information in a private reply using the instructions found in the following link?

In the meantime, I would recommend trying the following in case it helps:
- Going to Events -> Settings -> Display and re-saving your settings
- Going to Settings > Permalinks and re-saving your settings
Let me know how that goes.
Best regards,
Geoff B.
