WordPress Announces Abandonment of Support for IE6

Web text information seventeen 5.6K Reading mode

Today, a news report said that WordPress announced that it would give up its support for IE6.

Original text:

WordPress announced today that it will give up its support for Internet Explorer 6 in the latest update. They believe that because more and more complex code has been added due to the progress of web technology, IE6 is quite low in both performance and support, and it takes a lot of time to provide IE6 support when writing code.

When the new version of WordPress is accessed by IE6, a red warning box will pop up and prompt for upgrading, while other "outdated" browsers will cause an orange warning, and also provide links to upgrade mainstream browsers.

IE6 was first released in August 2001 and retired on April 14, 2009. However, its extended support will still be in 2014. Its long life is a miracle in the history of browser development.

 

Although I also detest IE6 and spend most of my time making theme templates to try to be compatible with IE6, I feel that WordPress is a pain in the neck. Whether to support IE6 or not has nothing to do with the program, but only with the theme style.

In addition, the translation of the above news is wrong. There is a prompt when you log in to the background of the upcoming WordPress version 3.2 with IE6 (as shown in the figure). WordPress has so many useless functions that it is a bit full

Log in to WordPress 3.2 background with other core browsers

            I seriously disagree with this article. Wordpress does not support IE6 directly, which saves me from adding code specifically to kill IE6. It's really good

                @ snowperd Only the WP background does not support IE6

                    There are few IE6 users abroad, but the number of domestic users is still large

                      It seems that the version in section 3.1.3 should not be upgraded to avoid the lack of support for IE6!

                        。。。 Browser compatibility is only related to style sheets. What is the relationship with wp and its background programs? Eggs hurt

                        It's just that ie6 retirement is a trend, and i think ie6 is still very easy to use

                          Robin , I don't know whether MathType and MathPlayer can be integrated into WordPress. The following is his official homepage. I have to admit that it seems that Microsoft ASP is better for these more extensive, valuable and complex applications. http://www.dessci.com/en/

                                I still found the answer from you, and I'm going to upgrade, but I don't understand that IE6 is not supported. I also think that IE6 is not supported in the background. The template in the foreground can be modified, but there is ambiguity, so I dare not upgrade~~~I found the answer from you, thank you, and upgrade on the horse~~
