Not working with IE8

Hi andrewcharon,

I unfortunately do not have IE8 on my computers and haven’t tested the plugin down that far. That said, this is strange because the plugin doesn’t really use any js or css that wouldn’t work on IE8.

Can you try adding custom content to the header (rather than an image) and see if that is displaying. This should help me diagnose the issue.

Thanks,
Nick

Thanks for getting back to me so fast. I added custom content and it works just fine on IE8.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for testing that. It must be a CSS issue. I will look into it this evening, at work right now, and see if I can figure it out.

Thanks,

One more quick follow up. I added text. Then I added an image. Both worked. I ran into problems when I “Clicked to enable and view options” for “Header Image” and then selected “Display Featured Image”.

Thank you for looking into this and for putting the time into supporting this plug-in.

Troubleshooting a little more. It works fine when you “Display Custom Image”. What isn’t working in IE8 is when you select “Display Featured Image”.

Hi Andrew,

This is a tricky one…In looking at the plugin code and the HTML output generated by the plugin, there really is no difference between a featured image and a custom image. The featured image is displayed using a builtin WordPress function that adds a few extra CSS classes to the image as well as the height and width, but that is about it. My plugin does not attach any styling to these additional classes, but I am wondering if your plugin is doing so. Here is a comparison of the output…

Featured Image
<img width=“xxx" height=“xxx" src="https://image_url" class="attachment-full wp-post-image" alt="image_alt_text">

Custom Image
<img src=“image_url" alt=“image_alt_text”>

Is your site live? If so, can you try adding a featured image and then send me a link to the page. I am interested to see if by looking at the source, I can see if the image is even being added to the page. If it is, then it may be a styling issue.

Thanks,
Nick
