Problem in Firefox

    Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post. Any help you’re able to offer would be greatly appreciated 🙂
    I need to have a different header appear in firefox than in all other browsers for my site.

    I currently have this code in my header:

    <head>
	<script src="https://use.fontawesome.com/d450b61818.js"></script>
	<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>">
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
	<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
	<?php if ( is_singular() && pings_open( get_queried_object() ) ) : ?>
	<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>">
	<?php endif; ?>
	<?php wp_head(); ?>
	<?php echo do_shortcode( "[hmenu id=2]" ); ?>
	<div class="top-bar">
	<div class="top-countdown">
	<a href="http://calvarytucson.com/teaching-archives/live/">
	<button class="top-countdown-button"><div class="top-countdown-button-inner"><span class="firefox-live"><?php echo do_shortcode( '[countdown]' ); ?></span></div></button>
	</a>
	</div>
	<div class="top-icons">
	<a href="https://twitter.com/calvarytucson" target="_blank">
	<button class="top-icons-button"><div class="top-icons-button-inner"><img src="https://calvarytucson.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/social-003_twitter-2.png" alt="Twitter"></div></button>
	</a>
	</div>
	<div class="top-icons">
	<a href="https://www.facebook.com/calvarychapeltucson" target="_blank">
	<button class="top-icons-button"><div class="top-icons-button-inner"><img src="https://calvarytucson.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/social-006_facebook-2.png" alt="Facebook"></div></button>
	</a>
	</div>
	<div class="top-icons">
	<a href="https://www.instagram.com/calvarytucson/?hl=en" target="_blank">
	<button class="top-icons-button"><div class="top-icons-button-inner"><img src="https://calvarytucson.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/social-038_instagram-2.png" alt="Instagram"></div></button>
	</a>
	</div>
	</div>
</head>

    and it seems line the code: <?php echo do_shortcode( '[countdown"]' ); ?> found on line 14 is causing the body of our site to be blank in firefox, and I know that it’s not the plugin itself causing the problem, as I’ve tried multiple plugins in that area and it all causes the same problem.

    I haven’t been able to find a work around that allows me to insert that shortcode without the php, or in a way that doesn’t break the site in firefox.

    So, I’m settling for having 2 different header files; one that pulls up in firefox, and one that pulls up for every other browser.

    This is the code that I’ve come up with so far, but I am pretty new to the code side of wordpress:

    if(strlen(strstr($agent,"Firefox")) > 0 ){      
    $browser = 'firefox';
}
if($browser=='firefox'){
    get_header( 'one' );
}
else{
    get_header();
}

    and I have a file titled “header-one.php” where my header.php file is located with all the same code, but with text instead of the shortcode php.

    Is that correct? and is there a way to add that to my functions.php file to make that work, or do I need to go into all the places where my site calls for the header and replace it with that bit of code?

    Thank you again, very much!

    The code looks right, but I’m afraid to say that you will need to add that to all of the template pages on your site that call get_header().

    There is another option though. You can do the check in your header.php file and do something like this…

    <?php
    if( false !== strpos( $_SERVER ['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Firefox' ) ) {
        echo do_shortcode( '[countdown"]' );
    }
>

    But… I’d also recommend checking to see what the actual error is so you can get mre insight into what is really going wrong. To do that, edit yor wp-config.php file and change

    define('WP_DEBUG', false);

    to

    define('WP_DEBUG', true);

    That will let you see any error messages that are being produced. Just remember to change it back when you’re done!

    oh, that’s a good idea, using the conditional logic to add the shortcode instead. I’ll try that and see if it works 🙂

    I also tried the debugging and found one error, which I fixed, but it didn’t seem to help.

    Thank you so much for the suggestions!! They are very helpful.
