Pages populating differently on some browsers/OS

Recommended Posts

klaus2go

The issues appear randomly on both PCs and Macs, in either Chrome (PC and Macs), Safari, Firefox (PC or Macs), or IE (IE6-IE9). 1. The "News" section on the menu loads as the last item with some browsers and the second item on the bar with other browsers. newslast.png (Firefox, Mac) news2.png (Chrome, Mac) 2. Inside the News section, there should be sub-sections: StainTalking Archives, Press Releases, News Clips. On some browsers (the same browsers that list News second and not last), only StainTalking Archives is visible. 3cats.png (Firefox) 1cat.png (Chrome) 3. The footer does not allow to just list major pages. It instead lists all child pages (and child of childs). When we manually replaced the dynamically generated footer to forcefully eliminate that problem, it continued to show on some browsers. Our hand-coded replacement only showed on browsers that also shows News as last on the menu and the 3 subcategories inside News. hugefoot.png (Firefox) smallfoot.png (Chrome) 4. Permissions are not set to allow web-editing of theme files. If uploaded via FTP, the changes are not reflected. ---- URL to see problems 1-3: http://staintalk.com/testblog/news/ (view in multiple browsers to see the different page populating)

We also tested our markup (issues with FB code, but that's all), and turned off plugins. No change for better or for worse.

Right, only seeing two errors in the validator, both referring to Facebook. Although there appear to be no serious W3C errors, doesn't mean there are not any PHP errors. This appears to have been heavily customized from the original template, I'd imagine a lot of manual editing of the template files has taken place? Unfortunately, I would most likely attribute these errors to that as I have never seen these problems caused by the themes before. While navigating all through the pages the nav is always changing seemingly random, this could be a possible error in the altered PHP or a funky plugin. Are you making all these changes yourself or is this work done by a web designer? 1. I could only think to make sure and manually create your menu in: Appearance > Menus to make sure you have full control. 2. Very odd, again could be a PHP execution/error problem. 3. Again, you have full control of this in: Appearance > Menus 4. This is usually a problem with the host, probably a good time to check with them that you have; - Linux Server - PHP5 Enabled - php.ini / .htaccess / permissions all in order - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Do you receive any error messages at all? Do you have any / a lot of plugins installed? Are you using the latest version of WordPress and theme? Thanks, Bryan

We ended up throwing out what we'd done and redoing it with a clean copy. Whatever went wrong was then fixed. Thank you!
