Previous definition is at /home/ispithot/public_html/Wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php:53. 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.

Now I just Hyper Cache, Widget Cache, and PHP Speedy. CSprites never got updated, so it doesn't work right with caching tools yet either.

I'd use Script Compressor, but I still want to use PHP Speedy for its Data URI (not even sure what that is) and header expiration stuff (that's for caching). I don't think it's possible for Speedy not to group CSS files together, which would create a problem with Compressor. I think you can have it not group JS files though. Tough decision.

Both Script Compressor and Head Cleaner create cache files of the compressed/combined JS and CSS, although HTML isn't compressed. The MySQL server is having issues on my host (fatcow.com) so my site is on pause :( When it gets working I'll keep you posted on how PHP Speedy works for me (if it even does) after disabling some plugins.

If it does work and you have a plugin conflict, figuring out which plugin is the problem will be the time consuming part.

But yeah the cSprites error is still popping up just like before with Script Compressor plugin active. Also, most of my images are NextGEN gallery images... i wonder if it works with those? That'lll be a project disabling all plugins to test php speedy! I have lots of plugins :( haha I might have to try it though. oops, hehe i fixed the post comment button..

Maybe another plugin is creating the conflict. One thing you can try with PHP Speedy is turning off all your plugins except for PHP Speedy and seeing if it detects scripts.

I guess you're saying the update hasn't fixed the issue? I just tried leaving a comment on your site, but the Post Comment button doesn't work. It's like there is no actual button there.
