# Booking calendars start the week on Monday

Your booking calendars show Monday as the first day of the week.

**Why this happens.** Your site reads its first day of the week from a single WordPress setting.

**How to change it.** Go to **Settings**, then **General**, and change **Week Starts On** to Sunday. This updates every calendar on your site at once, including the search bar date picker.

If a calendar still shows Monday after you save, your browser is holding a cached copy of the page. A hard refresh clears it.

Still stuck? [Contact the HomeRunner team](https://homerunner.io/contact/) with your site address and what you tried, and we take it from there.
