srcset is not supported by ie8

Hello Thanks for the great plugin.

Hello and thank you ??

Is there a way to disable the plugin on ie8. It states on the Picturefill site that it should work. However WP-retina-2x doesn’t appear to work in ie8 (with images not loading), if I change the html in browser using the inspector, from srcset to src it does work.

Unfortunately not, on 99% of WP websites the pages are cached so disabling PictureFill depending on the browser will enable it for all or disable it for all depending on which browser visited your website first ?? Did you try the Keep IMG SRC option? That’s only for Pro Users but that might work with IE 8 actually.

Otherwise, you can use Retina.js, waiting for your users under IE8 to disappear ??

John – I’m not sure what your exact issue is, but for me in IE 8 photos were not being displayed when the plugin was enabled (and it was using srcset without the IMG SRC backup option).

To fix this, I disabled the picturefill script that is packaged with the plugin and used the latest release candidate from the site (version 3.0):

https://github.com/scottjehl/picturefill/releases/tag/3.0.0-rc1

Note as of this writing this is still a release candidate, but in my limited testing to date it fixes the issues I was having with IE 8 and I do not see any regression issues on other browsers.

John, can you confirm that it works with the 3.0.0? I am wondering if I should update to that version or not.

Stable release of 3.0.1 was just released and working well in my production environments.

Okay, I will update to 3.0.1 now ??
