 * Hi,
 * We are using wp total cache in one of our WP sites. Please let us know the following.
   
   Is there a way to clear cache automatically (periodically) or when any new entry
   is made in the website. Or can a mail be configured to send when the cache needs
   to be cleared.
 * Thanks!
    Sowmya

 * Actually that’s what I am also looking for.
 * I have a function that creates posts automatically if it find a new entry in 
   external RSS feeds. Once that happens, I want W3TC to clear all cache (page +
   database + object + etc) programmatically as soon as post is published.

 * Hi there, maybe something like this will help, [http://pastebin.com/hjCfC0Ta](http://pastebin.com/hjCfC0Ta)
   just paste the function on your functions.php file, that should do the job.
 * Each time a post is published or saved the cache will flush.
