 * Hi,
 * The event status cannot be changed—for example, an event is currently set to “
   planned”—if I change it to ‘cancelled’ or “postponed,” this status is not saved,
   and it remains “planned.”
 * Thx for your feedback

 * Hi [@webmark487](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webmark487/)
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * To confirm, are you referring to the **Event Status** settings? You can see an
   example here: [https://share.zight.com/Jru9Z1yp](https://share.zight.com/Jru9Z1yp)
 * If so, this issue may be related to a plugin or theme conflict. I recommend running
   a [conflict test](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/)
   on a [staging version](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/)
   of your live site. If you don’t have a staging site yet, you can use the **[WP Staging](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/)**
   plugin to create one easily.
 * Let me know how it goes.

 * yes, it´s about the **Event Status** settings
 * it works – I just confused it with the status of the event (planned, pending 
   review, draft).
 * What effect does the Event Status have? Does the class change? 
   For what is it?
   Can I filter the events by that status?

 * Hi [@webmark487](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webmark487/)
 * Unfortunately, it’s not possible to filter your calendar by event status by default.
    - **Scheduled**– Will list if the event is Scheduled
    - **Canceled**– Will display the word Canceled at the top of your event page;
      you can opt to include a reason if you prefer.
    - **Postponed**– Displays a Postponed label on your event; can include a reason
      if you’d like.
