    Hi Roy

    Thanks for that – I validated the markup a month or two ago – and looks like since then:
    a) The <head> tag was accidentally removed from header.php during an unrelated edit (*facepalm*)
    b) The html_type row in wp_options was missing, causing my theme’s header.php to output:
    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”; charset=UTF-8″ />
    …rather than:
    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″ />
    …as well as WordPress to send the wrong HTTP response Content-Type.

    Now that those have been fixed, the page validates and WP Cumulus works again.

    Cheers! ??

    RAMilewski: Yes sorry, appears I spoke too soon – this issue effects even the current version of Default. I’m not able to edit my post above now though ??

    Yes and has been replaced by TwentyTen, I’m aware of that.

    People still use old themes and will come to the support forum asking why they are broken.

    Giving fellow triagers/front line support volunteers a heads up as to the imminent browser changes (so they are prepared for a potential influx in the next 2-3 weeks) seemed like a prudent course of action.

    Make of it what you will…

    The point of this thread is more to act as an advance warning/heads up, explaining problems people may be having with their theme – given that Firefox 4 and IE 9 (both of which are affected) will be released in ~2 weeks – and so might result in an influx of support threads here.

    I’ve checked the latest version of default using the preview here:
    https://wp-themes.com/default/?TB_iframe=true&width=1585&height=900
    …and it seems to have had the issue fixed.

    So presumably as long as people are using default and keeping it up to date, then they won’t be affected.

    However, for the many sites that use a custom theme based on Default/Kubrick, who haven’t incorporated newer Kubrick/Default changes, then they may be affected.

    eg like this user’s custom theme based on Kubrick:
    https://www.buzzmachine.com/

    tl;dr…
    – Fault is only in older versions of the theme
    – So agree it’s the responsibility of the blog owner to update/change to a non-broken theme
    – This thread is just attempting to give advance warning to those who offer support/triage, given that Firefox 4/IE 9 are going to be released in <2 weeks

    Sticky/known issues list perhaps?
