Trouble with thumbnails in Internet Explorer

  • Hello,
    We are using version 3.13 of RSS Multi Importer on the most recent version of the Pilcrow theme in WordPress version 4.0

    We are using two feeds:
    1.) https://statedocs.maine.gov/orrington_books/gallery.rss
    this feed displays on the following page: https://orringtonhistoricalsociety.com/special-collections/

    2.) https://statedocs.maine.gov/orrington_images/gallery.rss
    this feed displays on the following page: https://orringtonhistoricalsociety.com/photos/

    We had trouble with image cascading in the default theme and are using the regular theme. This works well in chrome, but both the regular and default themes are only showing a sliver of the thumbnail in Internet Explorer (I’m viewing in IE8).

    All of the thumbnails on both pages are displaying at a width of 10px in IE8. Looks great in Chrome, though.

    The shortcode I have on the photo gallery is: [wp_rss_multi_importer category=”2″ pinterest=”1″]

    I added pinterest because I read somewhere that this prevents image cascading.

    The shortcode I have on the Special Collections (books) is: [wp_rss_multi_importer category=”1″ thisfeed=”9999″ maxperpage=”9999″ pinterest=”1″]

    I use a max feed/page setting because I want all items from the RSS feed (regardless of age) to appear on the page. This is our way of integrating a digital repository with the website of the organization that contributed the content.

    Thinking I may have made some prior change to the css or php files that may have caused this, I uninstalled the plugin and did a fresh install this morning. That didn’t make any difference.

    After spending a couple of hours trying different fixes, I figured I would check in here. I’m sure I am missing something simple…

    Hi,
    Sorry about this problem…now I checked the rss url in my safari browser with an IE8 emulator, and get this

    there are no images cutting out

    Now, the purpose of the pinterest=”1″ is to float the image left, which it’s doing fine. The problem happens because the text varies from image to image (some text is long and some is short).

    Now, in the default template, there are IDs on the divs so you can use CSS to get a better presentation. If you don’t know how to do this, let me know.
