IE Weirdness

    I was at a meeting today demoing the site using Compose WP. One of the people in the meeting was viewing the same site on a “new” Lenovo laptop using IE and the site came up with the “mobile” version. I didn’t have time to explore further, but I think the person was running Windows 7. She indicated it was a “new machine.”

    When I got back to my office I tried to replicate what I had seen using IE on my Windows 7 machine. It works almost perfectly (the regular full size version, not the mobile version appeared) but I did see one flaw. It was related to the overlying text on the featured image on the home page. I did change the parameters of the code controlling the overlying text on the featured image on the home page to allow more information to be viewed. Using IE on both the Win 7 and Win 8 machine, some of the text gets cut off. It works fine with all other browsers.

    Is there there some IE weirdness going on here, and is there a way to fix this?

    Thanks!

    First of all, thank you for using our theme. You’ve developed a wonderful site with it. May I use it in my showcase of sites using Compose?

    The theme is built with Bootstrap and uses the inherit browser support offered by it. You can read up more about it here: https://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#support

    I think IE 8 and below are not completely supported, this includes some CSS3 and HTML5 properties.

    If you need strict support for older IE versions you will have to develop it on your own, or hire someone to help you with it.

    I checked it on my machine, running Windows 7: IE 10 and IE 9 and the site showed up as it does in other popular browsers.

    I can confirm that the mobile version did show up for me in an IE 8 emulation.

    Perhaps you can ask your colleagues to upgrade their browsers?

    Thanks. I was viewing on Win 7 IE 11 and when I checked it again today, the page rendered perfectly. I’m thinking it was a temporary glitch with the IE browser (which I almost never use).

    Not sure what was happening on the computer of the person at the meeting. She claimed it was a “new” computer. But she works for a banking company so maybe they have them using IE 8 for some bizarre reason.

    Anyway, I think we are all good and this issue is resolved

    Glad it worked out.

    Please consider leaving your review for the theme.
