I figured out what the problem was, in case this helps others.
After 15 hours of working on this I came across some information on DOCTYPE’s and realized that the doctypes from WordPress was different than the rest of my site…
So, I changed WordPress’s doctype from
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
to
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”>
and added a masterpage. Everything works fine now, in the two sites that I revised. Hopefully this might help others with a similiar problem.
For whatever reason, only in wordpress does it shift my submenu up and to the left, what this causes if “interference” between the parent button and the user trying to move their cursor down to the submenu. I’ve tried a myriad of solutions none of which have had any effect. This only happens in wordpress, in IE. If I view the site in compatability mode it works fine.
