Search bar breaks JS in IE11

    When the search bar is included on a site viewed in IE11, JS breaks and subsequent JS on the remaining page does not execute. We have users forced to still use IE11 – is it possible to catch this / handle gracefully even if search does not work?

    Version: 1.8.2
    Error:
    SCRIPT438: Object doesn’t support property or method ‘includes’
    search.min.js (1,39437)

    Hi,

    Sorry for that. We will try to fix it in the next version.

    For now, you can use this snippet to add a polyfill for IE11:

    
add_action( 'wp_footer', function () {
	?>
        <script crossorigin="anonymous" src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=Array.prototype.includes%2CString.prototype.includes"></script>
	<?php
}, 5);

    You have two ways to add this code to your theme:
    – Open the functions.php in your Child Theme and add the code at the end
    – or install the Code Snippets plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/code-snippets/) and apply this code as a snippet.
