IE compatibility?

    Is this theme compatible with Internet Explorer 7, 8, 9, 10, and/or 11?

    It looked messed up in IE11 until I added:
    <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=edge” />
    It still looks messed up in IE8. I’m wondering if I need to add respond.js or a shiv for older IE versions. Please advise.

    thanks,

  • Our themes should support the last three versions of IE, so 11, 10, and 9. You can feel free to add any backwards-compatibility you may need for older versions of IE. I recommend doing that in a child theme, so you won’t lose your changes when updating the theme.

    It looked messed up in IE11 until I added:

    I just checked the homepage of Pictorico demo in IE11/Windows 8.1 and it looked OK.

    Could you please provide a link to your site, as well as your specific operating system (i.e. Windows 7, 8, 8.1?) so I can have a look?

    thanks for your response. I’m using a child theme but the layout was broken just using the parent theme alone also. I’m using IE11 on Windows 7, but the browser was showing IE7 standards by default. I’m wondering if it’s just an issue w/ my browser. It worked after adding the meta tag. Here’s the site:

    Thanks for the link. Your homepage looked fine to me when viewing on Windows 7 / IE11, so it could definitely be something with your browser configuration.

    You could try resetting your browser to its default settings, or try looking at it on a different computer to see what you get, but it looks OK from here.

    thanks for checking. I’ll leave the <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=edge” /> in there anyway. I guess it won’t hurt.
