    Site is showing well in Chrome, Firefox, Safari on Mac OSX and Windows 7

    but in IE9 the menu is not there, the items are in a bullet list

    @menmenm: It must be cache issue in your W3 Total Cache. Can you clear your cache from W3 Total Cache and check in.

    Well, it is not a cache issue as I have cleaned all the cache several times, page cache, browser cache, proxy cache ….

    Still same result: a bullet list of menu items instead of a menubar

    Found the culprit:


    add_header 'X-UA-Compatible' 'IE=EmulateIE7';

    in my server configuration

    @menmenm: Go to Performance in your WordPress Dashboard and Click on “Empty All Caches” in your W3 Total Cache settings. This has happen to other users as well and they all fixed it by clearing the cache.

    @sakin Empty all caches does not solve the problem!

    I commented out this in my server configuration:


    add_header 'X-UA-Compatible' 'IE=EmulateIE7';

    And now the site is shown fine in IE9

    @menmenm: What’s that and how did you do that? IE is so strange.

    It’s in the nginx reverse proxy configuration on the server.

    @menmenm: That’s great. But the only thing that confused me is about
    add_header 'X-UA-Compatible' 'IE=EmulateIE7';
    Isn’t this will load the older version that is IE7 mode. So, maybe make it IE9 or newest.
    So code can be
    add_header 'X-UA-Compatible' 'IE=EmulateIE9';
    or
    add_header 'X-UA-Compatible' 'IE=edge';

    Let me know your opinion as I am new to this.

    @sakin It’s good thinking.

    I just commented out the line, so no emulation on IE. Do not need it anymore. Browsers have developed a lot in last few years. Just the real IE9 (or IE8 if someone is using it) or IE10
