Problem with Top Posts Widget

  • Hi,
    We have been using your Top Posts widget for a long time but since the latest update today, it is causing a problem with our site in IE8. We have 3 columns on the page, but if the widget is being used, it srops columns 2 and 3 under column 1 on the home page at https://www.redooce.com

    If we remove the Top Posts widget from the Right hand column, then the page is displayed correctly. This is the first time we have seen this problem so has some code changed with the CSS and widget layouts?

    It seems to be this line of code in bold that is causing the problem from top-posts.php

    function enqueue_style() {
    wp_register_style( ‘widget-grid-and-list’, plugins_url( ‘widget-grid-and-list.css’, __FILE__ ) );
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘widget-grid-and-list’ );

    }

    Hi there,

    What led you to that line in particular? Could you share a screenshot of the issue? You can take a screenshot using https://snag.gy

    Thanks!

    It was just a process of elimination, as it was clear that the widget was the cause of the issue, so that made me look at the code.

    Then after testing by blocking out certain parts of code, it came down to that line that made the difference.

    When the code is re-enabled, the 2nd and third columns appear under the first column so the page is twice as long.

    It’s likely that some CSS in that file is incompatible with IE8 and some of your site’s styles. Troubleshooting IE8 styles can be tricky at the best of times. I suggest you look at this for guidance:
