Title: Default theme and Internet Explorer problem Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Default theme and Internet Explorer problem * [skcunningham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skcunningham/) * (@skcunningham) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-theme-and-internet-explorer-problem/) * I just launched a WordPress blog site (myfundraisingproject.com) and noticed that the header & footer are a little off when viewed in IE within the single post. It looks fine in Firefox. * I’m using the default WordPress theme and am a newbie when it comes to html, css, php, etc. * Is there an easy fix for this problem? * Thanks, * Scott… Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-theme-and-internet-explorer-problem/#post-432171) * You’re 2 versions behind.

I upgraded to the latest version. It now says 2.0.4 — 0.20 seconds at the bottom of the Admin…Dashboard page. * The single post is still off in IE. Did I do something wrong during the upgrade? * I didn’t delete the wp files before the upgrade. I just copied over (replace existing – yes). * Thanks, * Scott….. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-theme-and-internet-explorer-problem/#post-432192) * Make absolutely sure you got the newest wp-content/themes/default folder. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-theme-and-internet-explorer-problem/#post-432193) * … oh, and clear your browser cache * Thread Starter [skcunningham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skcunningham/) * (@skcunningham) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-theme-and-internet-explorer-problem/#post-432201) * I found the problem. I was displaying an ad in the single post that was too wide. Firefox seems to be able to adjust it whereas IE didn’t. I decreased the width and now it doesn’t mess up my Header & Footer in the single post. * Thanks for your help. * Scott…..
