Is there an straight-forward example anywhere of using wp_update_post() to edit post_meta on the front end? I have not been able to find any good learning resources.

What I want to do is display post meta in an input field and when a user clicks submit trigger wp_update_post();.

post meta in input field with save button

Thanks!

wp_update_post isn't used for updating custom fields (ie postmeta content) - you should use update_post_meta
