Thank you so much for posting this link Ajbernabe! Could you more specify, please, what you exactly did or which code you used to solve it?
Just this meta tag or which one?
<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=8″>
<!– plus variations such as emulate, quirks, 7, 8, 9 —>
Edit:
I tried exactly these two lines and it seems it is working now, but let me check it tomorrow from more computers…
Thank you so much for help!
I did just this
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8">
Either way should work, i guess.
I confirm it works now in IE 10 after I added this line into the header.php file. Thank you so much Ajbernabe, you made my day!
No worries, Kejml. Glad it helped! ^_^
Yes, you did it! My web is again all browsers friendly! 🙂
I still have not quite understood which php file you manipulate (or if you do not manipulate individual files with an html-editor: how you use the blog’s menue to make such changes).
…most of my experience is with conventional html sites and wikis 😉
OK, now it’s my turn to help, because I’m one step ahead. In WP administration, there is on left side menu choice Appearance > Editor. Open it and on the right side menu “Templates” click on Header (header.php. It will open header.php file in editor…
Now you just need to put this line:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8">
behind a <head> tag on the top of the file, click on the button “Update file” and you are done… Try to open your web now in IE 10 and it should be OK, if it was the same problem…
No! Do not edit the Twenty Fourteen theme. It is the current default WordPress theme and having access to an original, unedited, copy of the theme is vital in many situations. First create a child theme for your changes.
Thank you for your tip! Unfortunatelly my friend doing some changes of my web did it in already in the original twenty fourteen theme – is there a way how to take out just changes we already made and to put them into the child theme, please?
You would need to download a fresh copy of the theme and compare its files with your amended copy of the theme.
OK, it shouldn’t be a big problem so I’ll play with it a little bit when I’ll have a time. Thank you for your tips, Esmi!
well, I feel I understood how you create a child theme and what it is able to do, the result is, however, a design with new horrors different Browsers: the main menu is translated into a list… and some design beauties get lost – see

…I get the desired result, however, if I do not use a child theme and manipulate the header.php of the 2014-theme mother… I must be too stupid then, to create a decent child…
Yeah esmi is right. I dont usually edit the original theme. Creating a child theme is the way to go.
None of your websites works with ie8, did anyone fix this problem?
