 * Hello,
 * I’ve seen somewhere that for the calendar to be synchronised and refreshed every
   day or every ‘time’ it is needed to do something on the server side. Can someone
   please link me to the steps ?
 * Thank you.

 * Hello.
    You need to configure CRON script at your server to have periodically
   import.
 * Please read more about this feature here: [https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/#sync](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/#sync)
 * Import.
    Please check about the configuration of import events from .ics feeds
   in this FAQ instruction here [https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/import-ics-feeds/](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/import-ics-feeds/)
   Please note, the import process is working in that case, when some visitor is
   open your website page with booking import shortcode. So you can configure CRON
   at your server, for periodically access this page with booking import shortcode
   to start import process. Or you can insert the import shortcode before booking
   form shortcode, so firstly system will start import process and only then show
   booking form, when someone visit your page. In case if you are having some issue
   of not ability to import new events, then check this troubleshooting instruction:
   [https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/ics-importing-issue/](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/ics-importing-issue/)
 * You can define CRON at your server for periodically access pages with import .
   ics feeds shortcodes and start import process during specific time-intervals,
   then check this: [https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/cron-script/](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/cron-script/)
 * Export.
    Please check about the configuration of export .ics feeds in this FAQ
   instruction here [https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/export-ics-feeds/](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/export-ics-feeds/)
   Booking Calendar is generate .ics feed with bookings in real time. But how often
   some service (like airbnb, or booking.com ) access this .ics feed to import the
   bookings from Booking Calendar into own system, does not depend from Booking 
   Calendar. So in other words, Booking Calendar does not force to generate import
   process by third party service, when some booking is created. You need to check
   with support of this service (like airbnb or booking.com), about how often they
   can access the .ics feed tor making import. Kind Regards.
