Internet Explorer 9

  • Hi there,

    I know there’s a bunch of topics on this already, but I just could not find what I need!

    I’m new to WP and I’m using the TwentyEleven theme for my site, https://www.nervecentremusic.com. Last night I made a bunch of changes to my site, mainly making it wider and the header image height smaller. Then I went and checked it on the main browsers and it worked fine on them all except IE9.

    Please bare in mind I’m new to this, so please don’t give me a load of jargon, just tell me what I need to do to fix it, either what bit of CSS I’ve to change, or suggest a plugin.

    I tried using https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/ie9-mode/ but it didn’t do anything, not one single thing.

    Help me please!

    Many thanks! ??

  • Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.

    Create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

    Thanks Esmi,

    Sorry if I seem thick, but I just created a child theme, uploaded it to the themes directory (using FileZilla), as that post instructed, and nothing happened.

    Did I break things when I started playing with the CSS and PHPs? Basically I guess what I’m asking is will I have to completely reinstall TwentyEleven for it to like the child theme?

    Many thanks ??

    Yes, you will need to reinstall the Twenty Eleven theme but you should still be able to see your new child theme in Appearance -> Themes.

    Thanks again. Allow me to reward your kindness with a joke:

    A duck was looking nervously left and right at the edge of a road. A chicken came up to him and said: “I wouldn’t do that if I was you – you’ll never hear the end of it”.

    I’ll try reinstalling tomorrow night because I know I’ll be up all night playing with it if I start now, so IE users are just going to have to wait another little bit. No doubt I’ll be back with more questions.

    Thanks again ??

    Thanks for your help Esmi, my site looks pretty in all the browsers now. ??
