Responsive site on IE8

[greglr]

Hello
Extinct does not seem to be responsive on IE8. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

IE8 does not support CSS media queries and hence none of our themes (and most on ThemeForest) are responsive in IE8. Only way to achieve it is through Javascript. Anyway, IE8 is a desktop browser and hence I am not sure this would be an issue.

I have to make it responsive on all browser for my french client, especially on IE8 witch is still very used in France. I saw that a Javascript library like css3-mediaqueries.js can do the job. Do you recommande it and how do you manage the installation ?

From the description it looks like the script will take care of everything provided you just load the script. To load the script, you can input the following PHP into custom/custom-functions.php file –

    add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_enqueue_scripts');

function my_enqueue_scripts() {

    wp_enqueue_script('jquery-mediaqueries', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/css3-mediaqueries.js', array('jquery'), false, true);
}

assuming you will have this script placed in js folder of the theme directory.

Ok, thank you. I’ll try and see. However, could you provide me also a way to remove the library in case I don’t need any more in futures days?

To remove the library, you can just remove the above code from the custom-functions.php and the script will not load anymore on the pages. Hope that’s what you were looking for.
