iCalendar Synchronization
To stay up to date and avoid double bookings when your properties are listed on third-party websites, you can synchronize the booking calendar with third-party calendar services.
Step 1: Add iCalendar Feed Page
Before syncing the properties' calendar dates, you need to create an iCalendar feed page using the iCalendar Feed template, as shown below.
Step 2: Syncing Your Booking Calendar to Third-Party Calendars
Once you have created the iCalendar feed page, you will see the booking calendar feed export URL at the very bottom of the Vacation Rentals property meta-box tab (as shown below). Copy the Feed URL and add it to the third-party iCalendar import field as per their settings.
Step 3: Syncing Your Booking Calendar from Third-Party Calendars
To sync third-party booking calendars with your booking calendar, copy the iCalendar feed URL from their website. After that, add the feed URL to the iCalendar Import section (as shown below). Set a name for reference in the Feed Name field and enter the feed URL in the Feed URL field. You can add multiple feed URLs to sync from.

Add Video Tour and Virtual Tour

Property Photo is essential because if no property photo is assigned to the video, it will not be shown. You can add multiple virtual tour videos by clicking the + Add more button.
You can also add a 360 Virtual Tour of your property using an iframe tag. For example, the following code will add a 360 virtual tour from matterport.com to your property.

Assign Agent Information
Choose the information you want to display in the Agent's Information section.
Difference Between Author Profile Information and Agent's Information
From the visitor's point of view, there is no difference, and information for an agent and author will be displayed similarly.
From the website admin's point of view, an author is a site user/member who logs in to the website and adds a property using the admin side (if their role is the author or above) OR adds a property from the front end property submission page (if their role is a subscriber). An agent is a custom post type. Any user with a role equal to or above the author role can add those agents to the database and assign properties to those agents later. So, it is a flexible feature that can be used to suit your needs.
- None will hide the agent's information box.
- Author profile information will display the Author (user who added the property) information. You can configure your user information from the edit profile page (check the related documentation section for details of setting up the front-end profile edit page).
If you have adequate rights, you can also modify the author from the Author meta box on the property edit page.
- Display agent's information will display the selected agent's information. You can add the agent from Dashboard → Agents → Add New.
