WP Mobile Edition: PC browser shows mobile theme after visiting site on mobile

Hello all,

I recently setup my website with WP2.5 and, in searching for some plugins, I came across WP Mobile Edition at https://alexking.org/projects/wordpress.

I installed it exactly as required — theme folder in /wp-content/themes, and the php file in /wp-content/plugins.

At first glance it seemed to work great. I visited the website on my WM6 phone, and the mobile theme looked good, was very useable, &cet.; however, I then noticed when I went back to my site on a normal PC that whatever pages I’d visited on my mobile were stuck using the mobile theme. I’ve deactivated the plugin for now until I find a resolution.

Is anyone else experiencing this behaviour?

I’ve noticed that any theme changes in WP2.5 –including changes to stylesheets or individual php files– seem to take awhile before they take effect on the web. For example, if I edit sidebar.php, it’ll be at least an hour before the sidebar reflects those changes reliably (i.e., every time you view the page). This is true regardless of whether the wp-cache plugin is active or not. I wonder if this might be causing the strange behaviour in the WP Mobile Edition plugin.

Thanks
