Sidebar not rendering in WordPress template within I.E. 7

[elise]

Great to find an offer of help here!

Not sure how to fix this problem – sidebar for my new blog renders fine in FF and Flock, but completely blank when viewing in I.E.

But, if you click on the title of a post, viola – the sidebar appears!

Any suggestions on how to remedy this is greatly appreciated!

Hi Elise

at a glance I noticed You have this in your header

<!–[if IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet"
xhref="/* IE stylesheet URL */"
type="text/css" media="all" />
<![endif]–>

Might want to specify the path or just remove it if not necessary. I hope it helps.

Hi Pab,

Thanks for taking the time to respond. The reason I inserted this bit of code into the header.php file was because it was a suggestion from the owner of this site: http://www.nektros.com – (how I found this site). She also advised to create a new style sheet and name it iestyles.css – so I did that, uploaded it and then made the changes you suggested, (to the best of my ability) – here’s what I changed in the header.php file:

<!–[if IE 7]>
<link rel="iestyles.css"
xhref="/* DomainName.com/public_html/wp-content/themes/bluespot/iestyles.css */"
type="text/css" media="all" />
<![endif]–>

So I tried the above, and still nothing showing up in the sidebar – (not sure if I have it correct above, but did try the <link rel="iestyles" – to no avail.

Will keep plugging away at it, I guess!

Thanks again,
Elise

Hi Elise try this

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="

or

<!–[if IE ]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import "the URL of your ie specific style sheet";
</style>
<![endif]–>

let me know how it goes.
