The function as written there will succeed silently, since you haven’t actually passed in any data to change. You should be able to see what I mean by altering your function slightly: function trigger_post_update( $post_id ) { return wp_update_post( array( ‘ID’ => $post_id ), true ); } You don’t need the get_post() to check if … Read more
