This is what I use.
/**
* Remove twentytwelve-ie css must use priority greater than 10
* Childtheme's version of ie.css put in childtheme's css folder
*/
function mytheme_dequeue_styles() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'twentytwelve-ie' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mytheme_dequeue_styles', 11 );
function mytheme_equeue_styles() {
global $wp_styles;
wp_enqueue_style( 'mytheme-ie', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/css/ie.css', array( 'twentytwelve-style' ), '1.0' );
$wp_styles->add_data( 'mytheme-ie', 'conditional', 'lt IE 9' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mytheme_equeue_styles', 11 );
Depending on the amount of CSS you needs to override, if it’s not much, you could use .ie class instead of switching the whole new file.

Thank you for your reply.
But what do you mean by that exactly? I’m still getting a different stylesheet when adding that to my functions.php or should i change every “mytheme-ie” to my own theme name?
No, it could be used as is.
Just make sure that you have a file named ie.css inside a folder named css in your child theme’s folder.

Ok, thank you. I’m kind of new to wordpress developing and I didn’t make a child theme but I just edited twentytwelve and changed it to a different theme name. I think that’s the reason this function doesn’t work.. Do you have any other ideas?

When I look into the source of the site in IE8 I get this:
<link id=”twentytwelve-ie-css” href=”http://www.dvadelft.nl/wp-content/themes/aspiringdev/css/ie.css?ver=20121010″ rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”all”/>
It shows a version number behind the ie.css. Could that be the problem? It doesn’t seem to get my most recent version of the ie.css. It keeps getting an old one. Everytime I make changes in that ie.css file, it won’t show?

That’s my fault, I didn’t read the OP clearly. The code I provided is meant to be used in child theme’s function.
So this is a case of custom theme, it’s different story.
It shows a version number behind the ie.css. Could that be the problem? It doesn’t seem to get my most recent version of the ie.css.
When I directly loaded that css without the ?ver=20121010, and compared to the one with, files match. So that is not the problem.
Do you have some kind of caching server side ?

I don’t know. I’ve asked the host but they told me to ask WordPress..
I actually uploaded a modified ie.css with FTP in the right folder. But when I load that css in the browser it’s unchanged. I even added a big HELLO ASDF but it won’t show? Even though I really uploaded it in the same and right path.
Any ideas?
