    Websites don’t automatically work in every browser & browser version. They have to be developed to.

    The first step towards a browser-compatible website is ensuring each webpage conforms to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards.

    Try validating each webpage with their tool http://validator.w3.org/

    Andrew, I appreciate your insight. My dilemma is that I am a dance instructor and not a techie. This is why I use wordpress to negate having to know HTML in depth or PHP or ?

    I did run the validator, but what do I do with the output?

    Things were fine until I updated to WP3.5 and I have had nothing but one problem after another since then. I do not necessarily blame the upgrade, it is just coincidental.

    Even the default WordPress themes like Twenty Twelve & Twenty Eleven probably don’t work in all browsers. WordPress does not provide browser compatibility, the onus is on the customer or developer.
