# How often are social feeds updated?

New posts are imported by WP-Cron: a full sync every 2 hours, plus a 5-minute job that refreshes one account whose data is older than 3 hours (1 hour for RSS).

Saving the Social Feeds settings imports new accounts right away, and the Sync All Accounts button on the Social Items screen runs a sync on demand.

A real cron job makes this reliable. See [CRON](https://www.visualportfolio.com/docs/social-feeds/cron/).
