 * Hi Guys,
 * I am currently modifying the wp_posts table directly through an external script(
   i.e. Ruby script). The trouble that I have is the post won’t reflect on the live
   site. It is properly reflected:
    1. Database
    2. Pages (in wp-admin)
 * If I manually visit the changed Page within wp-admin, do nothing but click ‘Update’,
   everything updates properly and looks good.
 * Question: How do I update live pages programmatically without visiting the wp-
   admin section manually to update every page?
 * I could do something crazy hackish and visit ‘update’ the button through an HTTP
   post.
 * Thoughts?
 * Thanks in advanced,
    Justin

 * Are you running any cache? If you are, try clearing it everytime you post ‘externally’.
