Editing a unit
Open Units and click any title. Besides the usual WordPress title, content, and featured image, the plugin adds specialised panels (meta boxes).
Unit — core fields (canonical)
This box lists canonical facts shared across providers—name, address, city, coordinates, occupancy limits, check-in/out windows, rooms, bathrooms, description excerpt, size, CIN (Italian national identification code when provided by the provider), amenities JSON, gallery attachment IDs, etc.
| Field | Meta key | Editable | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| City | bec_core_city | Yes | Synced from Kross city; also part of bec_core_address_full. |
| Lat / Lng (combined) | bec_core_lat_lng | Read-only | Derived lat,lng pair from bec_core_lat and bec_core_lng; updated on sync and when coordinates change. |
- You can edit these fields directly—useful for minor tweaks or translations if your workflow allows it.
- The next sync may overwrite them unless your developer disables core writes via filters documented for engineers.
Think of this box as “the structured facts we store for themes and SEO.”
Gallery field (thumbnail grid)
The gallery control shows a thumbnail grid of images already linked to the unit (sync order is preserved in meta).
- Click a thumbnail to open the WordPress Media Library attachment modal—edit alt text, title, and other attachment fields.
- The grid is read-only for reordering in the admin UI; gallery order comes from sync (or developer filters). To change which images appear, run sync or adjust
bec_core_galleryvia supported tools—see Gallery images.
Imports during sync still follow the rules in Gallery images.
Booking engine — synced data
This panel is read-only for editors:
- External ID, provider slug, last sync time
- Sync enabled flag (shown for visibility)
- Remote row (JSON) — Full normalised payload last saved from the API (
bec_sync_payload)
Use it for support and debugging (“what did Kross send?”).
Booking engine — unit fields
Optional provider-specific mapped fields appear here when defined.
For stock Kross, this box is often empty—there are no extra mapped fields by default.
Title and content
The post title and editor content normally mirror canonical name and description during sync (subject to filters). Editing them changes what many themes display even if canonical meta still holds the synced snapshot until the next refresh.
