Hello,

My new site I just created http://www.thesticksoutfitter.com works with safari and chrome, but not internet explorer. I recently added some simple coding to adjust background and font colors, but I’m not sure why it doesn’t work with IE8.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello sticksoultitter,

Your site works fine in my IE9

What version of IE are you using?

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your response, I’m glad it’s working for you in IE9. I am using IE8 when I see this error. The logo in the top left doesn’t appear nor does the word “search” in the header search bar.

Do you see the logo or the search bar populated with text?

Thanks

Hello sticksoutfitter

The logo is there, but no word search in the search area on the right

Good luck with this,
Mark

@sticksoutfitter: ok I am testing your site now.
IE10 and IE11: Looks great
IE9: Everything works good just in search box you will loose placeholder. This is not an issue. As people still can type in and search.

IE8 is too old browser. We don’t support IE8 and even WordPress theme guideline doesn’t support IE8. You can try any WordPress default theme. Same issues.

But I have one solution for you which will make your site display properly in IE8 bit cannot be perfect as IE10 and 11. Just install this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ie-enhancer-and-modernizer/
