Fellow self-hosted WordPress bloggers, if you installed DB Cache Reloaded plugin on your wp blog, you are strongly advised not to update from WP 3.0.5 or earlier versions to WP 3.1, because, as indicated in the title, the latest WordPress 3.1 breaks DB Cache Reloaded.

The errors warning in the dashboard reads:

DB Cache Reloaded Error: wpdb class is redefined, plugin cannot work!
Previous definition is at /home/…../……com/wp-includes/wp-db.php:52.

DB Cache Reloaded Error: DB Module (wpdb class) is not loaded. Please open the Options Page, disable caching (remember to save options) and enable it again. If this will not help, please check FAQ how to do manual upgrade.

Screen capture:

DB Cache Reload Cannot Work Error

Even you go to Options Page and disable and re-enable the plugin, the errors is still there.

When check the DB Cache Reloaded page here, the plugin which was advised to be compatible with WP 3.0.9 wasn’t undated since 2010-6-21. To solve the problem, one may have to wait for its development team to release a new update.

For those who’ve already updated to WP 3.1, you either can restore your WP installation to an earlier version or have the emergency use of its Wrapper mode, though this has less performance.

When surfing the internet on the computer, many users like to launch a link in a new tab by right clicking the mouse in order to keep the current webpage open.

Apparently, the same way is not applicable to the Apple’s iOS devices as iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad is the touchscreen gadget.

No worries! Apple has built the feature of opening a link in a new page into its Safari for iOS. What one needs to do is that he/she taps the link for 2 seconds and then touch Open in New Page when prompted. That’s easy!

For example, I want to open the post of Download/Install QQ for Mac on a Mac published yesterday in a new page when on the homepage. I tapped the hyper-linked title for seconds until the prompt popped up and then tap Open in New Page. See the screenprints above.

Quite some owners of iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch (including myself) who have a paid MobileMe account have duplicated contacts on their idevices.

This happened when a user first synced contacts saved in a Mac or a PC’s Address Book using iTunes and later made a re-sync through Apple’s 99$-a-year-service MobielMe while selecting Do not Merge and then ignoring duplicate entries alert.
