    I am having trouble in older browser, Safari 5.0.6 on Power PC Mac, with the rendering of the main images when selecting a category. This just started happening and has always worked perfectly up until now.

    The category “all” usually renders fine, though I have noticed some missing images. On the first selection of a category the page comes up blank, that is with no images rendered. If I select another category, it renders fine and going back the first category now renders. I also notice if I resize the browser window images will suddenly show up.

    On our Intel Macs, Safari 6.1.4 this does not seem to happen. I have not checked Windows yet.

    Is there any fix for this issue?

    Let me know if you need more data, I will also try it on Windows and let you know.

    Thank you.

    Hey Michael!

    Please use the latest version of Safari:
    https://www.apple.com/safari/

    Note that the theme is listed as compatible with Safari but as no version is specified it’s understood to be the latest one (7), just like Chrome or Firefox.

    Josue:

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, of course I understand that.

    However, what about all the potential clients who do not use the latest browsers. Websites must be somewhat backward compatible or they cease to be commercial and effective. Once a potential client has a bad experience on my business site I cannot go to them and say please upgrade your browser. It becomes lost business and a missed opportunity. I think this is basic site development technology.

    If Enfold upgrades will make it incompatible with older browsers, is there any way I can revert to the earlier version of Enfold that worked fine?

    Thank you

    Hi Michael!

    Yes, you are right but we do this with older browsers that have a valuable representation (IE for example), Safari 5.0 has 0.39% of the market share right now so it’s simply not worth the effort. However, according to the problem you described, i think i may found a fix, try adding this at the very end of the theme functions.php:

    function add_custom_script(){
?>
<script>
jQuery(window).load(function(){
  jQuery(window).trigger('resize');  
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_custom_script');

    Best regards,

    That didn’t work It took down the site completely and took down any access to the WordPress Admin. Thankfully I had a backup php file.
    I had to go in via FTP and replace the file as the code didn’t even show up in the php page to edit out. I had placed it in the child “functions php,” as that is what I am using.

    Here is the error code:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in /data/19/1/81/104/1896756/user/2063450/htdocs/blaircomm_epic/blaircomm14/wp-content/themes/enfold-child/functions.php on line 11

    Thanks.

    Hey Michael!

    Sorry for that, to be honest i’m not sure if that fix could have done the trick, i wish i could help you on this but i can’t, none of my computers (Mac) have Safari 5.0, the oldest version i can test something is 6.0 and it works fine there, as you said.

    Best regards,
    Josue
