is_ie being triggered on Chrome

    I’ve had several visitors let me know (and I’ve seen it on some of their screens) that they are being diverted to the IE page that I have set up even though they are viewing on Mac Chrome.
    (It does also correctly redirect IE visitors as well).

    I’m using the following code in my header file (obviously with mysitenamehere replaced by our actual path):

    <?php // redirect IE visitors
if(is_ie()) {
   wp_redirect( 'mysitenamehere', 301 );
   exit;
} ?>

    Version of Chrome that I have seen this happen on is 43.0.2357.
    I’m running version 3.1.4 of the plugin – or was, I’ve deactivated it until i can figure this out.

    Any ideas on how I can fix this?
    Thanks!

    Are you using any caching plugins? If so users are probably being redirected because they are hitting a page cached as IE.

    I’m not using any caching plugins, but i’ll check if my hosting providers are running some on their end.

    Not really sure how this works… one instance was at work on a computer that doesn’t have any IE software installed… so how would that user have the page cached as IE?

    Thank you for your help – its a great plugin.

    It looks like its a conflict between the plugins that MediaTemple wordpress hosting has running, and your browser detect plugin… so unfortunately i’ll have to find another way to do this. I’ve emailed you more details as well.

    Thank you for your help 🙂
