feed regeneration Recurrence time

Hi @emm888,

Thanks for reaching out. Happy to help you with this!

To update your Facebook shop, Facebook will reach out to your site once per hour to grab your feed file and update your shop based on the latest updates to your WooCommerce store. For this reason, we’ve set the default to 15 minutes to regenerate the feed file, as this provides enough time to successfully update all product data and make sure that it is ready when Facebook comes looking for it.

Would you please tell me a little bit more about what you are wanting to do here? Are you wanting to increase or decrease the interval?

Thanks!

Hi Marcus,

can I reset 15 min to another value?

Hi @emm888,

I’ve reached out to one of our developers to see if this is possible, maybe with a snippet of code.

In the meantime, would you please tell me a little bit more about your need here? Facebook will only sync hourly, regardless of this setting. I am interested to know if you are wanting the feed file update to be more often, or less often?

Thanks!

Hi,

I’d like to update less often (once a day)

thank you

Hi @emm888,

Thank you for clarifying that for us! I was able to confirm with one of our developers that this is indeed possible, with a snippet of code, and I’m happy to share it! However, please be aware of a couple of notes:

• I’m afraid that customizations are not covered under our support policy, so implementing this directly or modifying it further isn’t something we can assist with.
• Please be sure you know how to add custom code to your site. Personally, I like the free Code Snippets plugin method.

You can view the snippet here:

NOTE: To complete the process here, you’ll also need to disable product sync on your Facebook for WooCommerce settings page, save, and enable product sync again (and save). This will clear out the previous schedule and replace it with this one that runs once per day.

Would you please give that a try and let me know if you run into any trouble?

Thanks!
