Internet Explorer columns with new dynamic recent posts

[innovatek]

I am displaying posts using the Posts (Minimal) dynamic element’s three-column layout.
While it looks great in Chrome and Edge, it only displays two-columns in Internet Explorer. What could be the reason for this? Any way to fix it?
While it didn’t fix it, I did try changing the columns from the 22em default setting to 3 columns for desktop, laptop and tablet, then 1 column for mobile views.
Unfortunately, Internet Explorer is still 10% of our readers.
Internet Explorer also didn’t wrap the Excerpt text, but I fixed it by turning off the Flexbox in the Article part of the element.

Hey @Innovatek,

Internet Explorer requires certain settings to be configured and/or enabled. If IE is important for you, you need to accept the configuration that is optimized for IE. For example, the image element works in all browsers but in IE, you really need to set the Width.

Though we understand IE is important for you, realistically, we can’t continue supporting it. Even its creator, Microsoft, abandoned it and advised to use modern browsers. It’s important that your users know of this for their security.

Thanks.

Ok, thanks. Maybe I should add a warning that displays only when the website detects the user is using Internet Explorer. Any conditional options built-in or do I need to find a separate plugin for that?

Hi @Innovatek,

You can add any custom code that will show the notice by detecting the IE browser, or else you can use any of the free plugins from the WordPress repository.
Please find the list of plugins in the below link which may help you with this.
