5.2.0.0

Bootstrap 5 dropped the support for Internet Explorer. But there are still many areas in which IE is strongly represented. Doctors, craftsmen, lawyers etc., wherever older or non-technical users can be.

A warning message is displayed when the site is browsed using Internet Explorer. Check this site here in Internet Explorer emulator.

    Hi there,

    Firstly thank you for such an amazing theme and the plug-ins also.

    I am having an issue where the internet explorer message shows randomly on different pages on different browsers and devices. Any idea how to fix this without deleting the whole notification?

      Ironically, when Looking at the site on a windows tablet in internet explorer, the notice didn’t show up on the homepage

      Hi,

      no idea yet, because I do not use Windows. But maybe a workaround:

      Go to header.php to the bottom and replace this

      <?php bootscore_ie_alert(); ?>

      with this

      <!-- Internet Explorer Warning Alert -->
<div class="no-ie-support d-none container my-4 robots-nocontent" data-nosnippet>
    <div class="alert alert-warning alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">
        <p class="h1">Internet Explorer detected</p>
        <p>Some warning text</p>
        <p mb-0>Some more text <a class="alert-link" href="https://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/new/">Mozilla Firefox</a>, <a class="alert-link" href="https://www.google.com/chrome/">Google Chrome</a>, <a class="alert-link" href="https://www.microsoft.com/edge">Microsoft Edge</a> oder <a class="alert-link" href="https://www.opera.com/">Opera</a>.</p>
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
            <span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
        </button>
    </div>
</div>

      This should work. Alert is now part of the DOM and maybe crawled by Google. So make sure that you have a strong Meta description to make sure that Google not shows this in search results.

      Does that help?

      Edit: I see IE Alert on your site by browsing macOS Safari. That means that there is something wrong. Please activate parent theme and check Alert again. It seems that this is happen in your child.

        Hi, Thank you for your response, sorry I’ve only just seen it! I checked the header.php file in the child theme and replaced it with the code you suggested and it seems to have resolved the problem… I think. The issue was sporadic which made me think it might be linked to the templates but I couldn’t be sure just yet. Will report back if anything changes. Thanks again
