    I have managed to manually import an entry from my Google Calendar, but how do I set WordPress to automatically sync?
    I can see the ‘Activate Auto Import’ feature, which I changed to be every hour, but I deleted the event in my Google Calendar well over an hour ago, yet it still appears on the bookings tab.

    Is there a way to make it so that the sync will delete out entries from the booking screen which have been deleted from with the Google Calendar?

    Hello.

    It’s possible only in case, if you will start import bookings via .ics feeds.

    Also you need to set for this option “Trash / delete all imported bookings before new import” value as “Permanently delete”. To move all previously imported bookings to trash or permanently delete before new import bookings. Its can resolve issue of updating deleted and edited events in external sources. Its work only, if you are using one source (.ics feed) for importing into specific booking resource!

    Relative import via .ics feeds.

    Please read more about this feature here: 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/

    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 accessing this page with booking import shortcode to start the import process. Or you can insert the import shortcode before booking form shortcode, so firstly the system will start the import process and only then show the booking form, when someone visits 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/

    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/

    Export.

    Please check about the configuration of export .ics feeds in this FAQ instruction here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/export-ics-feeds/

    Booking Calendar is generated .ics feed with bookings in real time. But how often some services (like airbnb, or booking.com ) access this .ics feed to import the bookings from Booking Calendar into their own system, does not depend on the Booking Calendar. So in other words, Booking Calendar does not force the 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 for making imports.

    Kind Regards.
