    Hi,
    My website doe not display correctly on IE8. The content section of my blog is cut off on the right side, and I’m not quite sure whats causing it as it looks fine on Firefox.

    As i was customizing my theme, i ran into this problem, but was able to fix it by validating my code and fixing all errors that appeared. Now, according to W3C, my code passes but I’m having the cut-off blog body problem again! I need help PLEASE!

    try:
    -deactivating ALL plugins. If the problem goes away, activate them individually to find the culprit?

    -if that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes to rule out any theme-specific issue?

    In Safari, a viewer has to scroll horizontally. You’re #content width is set to 1600px. Reduce that to 1000px.

    Thanks, guys!

    t-p: I tried deactivating all plugins – didn’t help anything. I went to the “themes” pages in dashboard and converted to default theme there. My blog looked incorrect with default theme (in fireox and IE – sidebar shows up underneath my blog posts in one column) so i converted it back to my custom theme. I’m kind of a n00b — didn’t really give me (personally) any insight :/ thoughts?

    songdogtech: I’m going to be posting large photographs (1680px in width) on my blog in the future, so unfortunately, some users will have to scroll horizontally i suppose (I’m on a mac with screen resolution 1080×720). I did, however, take your advice and changed the 1600px to 1350px. A little bit better, no?

    Do you guys think it could be a CSS problem? that’s what happened before, but i was able to fix through validation. Any thoughts? This is driving me crazy ARGH!

    You might want to reduce the size of your overall page width and display only smaller thumbnails and use Fancy Zoom to allow users to see larger images, or consider having such large images open in a separate page from a thumbnail.

    Do you guys think it could be a CSS problem?

    Well, yes. It’s a problem with your CSS that determines the overall width of the page. If you want it that wide, some browsers won’t deal with it correctly.

    Hi all,
    I just edited my CSS – my entire page now has a width of 900px. I’m still having the cutoff problem in IE (again, in Firefox it is fine) and it forbids me from viewing the entirely of any posts (I took a screen shot just in case – https://www.theaquino.com/broken.jpg )

    The width of my blog is set to 650px now as opposed to the 1050 it was before. Why is this still happening?! Is it a problem related to margins or padding? I’m so very frustrated.

    <!--[if IE]>
    <style type="text/css">
        #main {width:450px;}
    </style>
<![endif]-->

    try removing that from the header (either in the themes header.php, or it has been added via a plugin.

    IT WORKED! Of course, looking at at this little snippet of code I’m not surprised that it totally demolished my problems. I was just too much of a n00b to be able to locate that! thank you so very much. ??

    Must have been a plugin, though I’m not sure which.

    THANKS AGAIN ALL! I will marked as resolved.
