Block editor and classic editor not working in IE

  • I have a website that is using a child theme of the twentythirteen theme and when we upgraded to 5.0 the block editor doesn’t display correctly in IE. I tried to install the classic editor plugin but in IE the editor window is blank. It works fine in Chrome and FF. Has anyone experienced this and is there a way to fix it? I tried deactivating all plugins and changing themes and that didn’t have any effect.

    Which version of IE are you using?

    And, do you have the same problem in Microsoft’s Edge browser? (it’s their successor to IE) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/microsoft-edge

    The problem with the block editor seems to be with the Advanced Panels that are covering up the block area. As long as I uncheck them the blocks are all visible.

    Ok, but we’d still love answers to the questions above.

    Thanks for the reply. I am not sure what version my client is using but I tested it in IE 11 and I was able to replicate the issue. I just tested in Edge and it looks ok with the block editor and the classic editor. It has been so long since I have used microsoft products that I didn’t think to look at edge. I will recommend that they upgrade.

    Excellent, IE was discontinued 2 years ago, so it’s definitely time for them to upgrade to Edge or switch to Firefox or Chrome. ??

    Hey James,
    I am also having issues with my wordpress site being viewed in IE. I did not realize IE was discontinued. Do you recommend anything such as a ‘best viewed by statement,’ a supported browser link or other measure to avoid weird website viewing? Are there any workarounds for common IE shortcomings?
