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 edit meta boxes

Unit — core fields (canonical)​

This box lists canonical facts shared across providers—name, address, coordinates, occupancy limits, check-in/out windows, rooms, bathrooms, description excerpt, size, amenities JSON, gallery attachment IDs, etc.

  • 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.”

Canonical core fields metabox

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.
