If you’ve activated the plugin, go to Settings in the dashboard main menu. There you’ll find the Advanced Browser Check settings.
When viewing in all browsers, ABC causes screen to dim: found that when I disabled the pluggin all was well except obviously w/out the benefit of the plugin. Similar complaint but no solution here
I am concurrently running some code in a functions.php file in my child theme so IE 8-9 users get some use out of the site. code:// operates ie8, ie9 in ie7 compatibility mode
<?php if (strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’],”MSIE 8″)) {
header(“X-UA-Compatible: IE=7”);} ?>
<?php if (strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’],”MSIE 9″)) {
header(“X-UA-Compatible: IE=7”);} ?>
What are you trying to achieve? I don’t understand the ‘compatibility mode’ – it sounds as if you’re trying to force the browser to run in a version mode that’s one of the blocked options in the plugin?
I’m using ABC in 2 sites and never had a problem running a number of other plugins at the same time, but sometimes plugin scripts can get in eachother’s way.
btw – using WordPress twenty twelve template with a child theme
I added the php code before I discovered the ABC pluggin. The php forced IE 8 to emulate ver 7. IE 7 does a near-tolerable rendering of the site.
My intent was to get the php code and ABC to work together.
I have chosen the ABC pluggin over the php code since the two don’t play well together. Now users get the pop-up message, they can close it and opt out of the update at their peril and live with IE8’s flawed rendering.
Yes, those IE issues…
You might consider writing your CSS styles for compliant modern browsers and then add some extra rules to that specifically for IE7 and IE8 (using .ie7 and .ie8 classes). Works very well, and is not that hard to do. Makes also sense because these days IE’s market share (especially 7 and 8) has dropped considerably.
The main reason I use the ABC plugin these days is to block IE7 users altogether…
