    Started a new topic here as it got lost in another one I posted about about Avada issues.

    I have Avada (latest version I bought yesterday) installed and the compatible packs from here. Site will not load AT ALL in IE8… instead it reloads on loop until it gives an exception message and displays nothing.

    In IE 9 all formatting is lost. Header is green, menu wrong and other issues.

    Chrome: Perfect
    IE 10: Perfect
    Firefox: Perfect
    Safari: Perfect

    Last month alone 887 people visited my website with IE8 and 1,454 people with IE9 so this is a real issue for me going forward

    Site can be viewed at http://www.ChildcareFinder.ie

    Thank you for looking

    Does your site work in IE8 & IE9 with our plugin disabled?

    Sorry, i meant the compatibility plugin. I have seen lots of threads about Avada problems with IE8 & IE9, so i was just trying to narrow down the problem and see if you get the same issues without the compatibility plugin.

    Ok that’s one out of the way then.
    I know it’s a live site so this is always difficult, but the best way to get to the route of the problem is to deactivate all the plugins and add them back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    I would start by deactivating all the plugins and switching to the parent theme, then add main GeoDirectory plugin followed by additional plugins, and finally switch back to the child theme.

    ok can u try this, can u via ftp create a new folder called plugins.bak and copy all plugins from the plugins folder there, then try refreshing the front end (not back end) this will disable the plugins but not lose any settings.

    If it is still the same then it’s an avada problem if not we can look further.
