iCalendar feed cron – Change to a different recurrence time

8647 views

By default, the theme runs a WordPress cron job every 3 hours to synchronize calendar availability based on the iCal feeds imported for each property.

If you wish to change the default interval (3 hours), follow the steps below:

  1. Install the WP Crontrol plugin.
  2. Edit the ICAL CRON job.

Edit ICAL CRON

The cron job responsible for checking new feed data is located in events.php within the function setup_event_wp_estate_sync_ical.

Performance Impact

Running cron jobs very frequently, especially for tasks like syncing iCal feeds for hundreds of properties, requires careful consideration to avoid performance bottlenecks and ensure scalability. Frequent jobs can overload your server (CPU, memory, and database).
