Ryan, that's just what the problem is. I don't think this is a bug, so I didn't
file a bug report. The thing is that however rare it is, some of us do sometimes
need to change the URL of an already running blog(as I recently shifted one
of the blogs that I manage from a sub-domain on my site to its own domain).
Now the problem is that the URL can be changed in the DB dump via a Text
Editor or via any DB editing tool and the blog will run fine, but with cacheing
the problem was that the URL gets hard-coded in the cache files. Now I use
WP-Cache2 and that gives an option to clear all cache files from its Option page.
But there is nothing of this sort of WP's inbuilt cacheing, so the problem. Though
it can be contested by saying that the cache can be deleted manually using an
FTP program since the user moving the blog will definitely have access to it
but I thought that I should raise this here as well so you guys can put an option
in the WP-Admin to enable/disable and flush cache.
 

|  To disable the cache entirely, add the following to wp-config.php.

|  define('DISABLE_CACHE', true);

|  To flush the cache manually, a plugin that simply calls wp_cache_flush()
|  will drop the entire cache.
 
thanks for the tip, I've this saved in "Most Important Tips" now!! :)
