 * This is a strange one, or perhaps not?
 * I can load my wedsite on a variety of Browsers, and on Laptop, iPAD, and Android,
   but not with Internet Explorer.
 * Can’t think that this is specifically a WORDPRESS issue … could it be something
   in the THEME I’m using?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finternet-explorer-56%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * It’s entirely possible that it’s the theme. That’s pretty easy to test; just 
   switch to a different theme for a few minutes.
 * Of course, IE is no longer supported. Your site works fine on Edge.

 * Thanks Steven … I agree it’s most likely the Theme, just wouldn’t understand 
   why. As you say, IE is no longer supported so the %age of us uing it must be 
   diminishing through time, but I do get the odd viewer complaining that they can’t
   access the site.

 * “Cant access” means “cant connect” ?
 * MSIE is known to use system SSL libraries, in case complainers are using old 
   IE and old version of Windows (i.e. 7) – they can have problems connecting to
   your site, because your site does not accept connections using older SSL and 
   TLS protocols.
 * Your site needs: TLS 1.2 or 1.3, ECDHE support, SHA-2 certificate signatures (
   so called “modern” suite)
 * You can ask your hosting support to enable compatability options for old systems.

 * Hi Yui
 * Thanks for responding.
 * Personally, I have two * Windows 10 laptops, and can’t connect to the website
   using IE, so the problem is perhaps not exclusively linked to older versions 
   of Windows?

 * Did you try changing the theme as a test?
