Hi Kevin,
I did some research on your theme and it looks like it was last updated in November of 2008. Obviously this isn’t a good sign as there have been many updates to wordpress since then. I don’t have IE so I can’t test your issue but I would suggest you remove the theme and then re-install it, just to see what happens.
Here’s the link to the plugin and it’s author: http://blog.0100.tv/2008/11/olivia-wordpress-theme-launched/ He has a contact page and a twitter link if you want to get in touch with him. Most times theme authors are able and willing to answer people’s questions.
Can you paste your index.php page here? be sure to put it inbetween backticks or click the code button.
Still the same issue after removing and re-installing it.
Here is the index.php file from the theme folder
<?php define('WP_USE_THEMES', true); get_header(); ?>
<!--body of the page-->
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<div id="crossBar">
<div id="headDate"><?php date('l jS F Y'); ?> <a href="#" id="larger" >A++</a> <a href="#" id="smaller">A--</a> - <a href="#" id="textOnly">Basic Style</a></div>
</div>
<div class="globalMargin" id="navBar">
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="logoSpot">
<div class="globalMargin" id="blogName">
<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
</div>
<div class="globalMargin" id="blogInfo"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="contentHold">
<div id="leftColumn">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="newsItem">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="title" title="<?php the_title('', ''); ?>"><?php the_title('', ''); ?></a></h2>
<div class="newsDate">Filed: <?php the_category(', '); ?> @ <?php the_time('g:ia \o\n F j, Y'); ?> <a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><?php comments_number('No comments yet! :(','One comment! :|','% responses :)'); ?></a> <?php the_tags(); ?></div>
<div class="lipsum">
<?php
if(get_post_meta($post->ID, "image_value", $single = true) != "") :
?>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/img.php?img=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "image_value", $single = true); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></p>
<?php
endif;
?>
<?php the_content('Read More...'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages('before=<p>&after=</p>&next_or_number=number&pagelink=page %'); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<h1><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></h1>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<!-- sidebar -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<!--footer-->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
The theme is coded differently than most; I haven’t ever come across the function “define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);” in a theme before. That said, it must be there for a reason – perhaps some moderator can help.
If your site works fine in IE with other themes, then we know it must be something with that theme. All I can suggest is to contact the theme author and let him know about your issue. However, there are tons of themes out there for wordpress, so if its possible it may be a good idea to just use a different theme.
