How to apply IE8 fix to Twenty Twelve?

I think w3schools stats are based on traffic from web developers so tending to give a more modern view of browser adoption than general web traffic.

I tend to look at gs.statcounter.com. On saying that, I haven’t looked at the stats for about 9 months and was pleased to see that this fits with w3c figures of 7.1%, suggesting IE8 may well be dead which has made my day.

Of course it’s all relative to your audience. You could have 0% or 100% of your audience using IE8.

Had a look at my own sites which seem to be between 8-10% over the last 3 months so it’s true, IE8 is almost dead!

Pretty much, yes. The only real exceptions are those accessing from or within some corporate networks.

The above one didn’t worked for my site orclage.com , Any other solution for this problem.

Ditch Twenty Twelve and use Twenty Thirteen !

Twenty Twelve was built entirely as responsive which IE8 doesn’t understand. Realising their mistake, Twenty Thirteen isn’t.

Making the parent theme responsive is no use to developers like me who heavily customise child themes so I am glad they have put that behind them.
