Wordpress site is not displaying correctly in internet explorer after server transfer

Question

I have an odd issue.

A site that I'm building stopped displaying correctly in IE 8/9 after transferring it to another server. I can't figure out what is wrong with the site. I am starting to suspect that it is server related.

Has anyone a clue why?

Old server (working in IE) goo.gl/9XZpD

New server (not working in IE) goo.gl/S5kZf

What do you mean by "not displaying correctly"? – Chris Herbert Jan 13 '13 at 20:31 — Chris Herbert, Jan 13 '13 at 20:31

You are getting 404 errors on two fonts files - eurosti-webfont.woff and ufonts.com_eurostile-bold-2-webfont.woff. Looks like they didn't make the transition to the new server.

Thanks for replying. I have corrected the missing fonts. Seems that font-face got lost on the way. Still this didn't resolve my issue. – Alex Jan 13 '13 at 22:22

Your page still starts with:

<?


?><!DOCTYPE html>

remove the php short tags, the file has to start like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

Edit: if you have access to your php.ini file look for

short_open_tag = Off

change it to

short_open_tag = On

Restart apache

Cheers

Also make sure you have these lines at the beginning: ` Exensor` Than empty your IE cache. The reason is that your document is displayed in non standard mode – Dario Jan 13 '13 at 21:21
Thanks for responding. Still not working even after removing the PHP tags. – Alex Jan 13 '13 at 22:21
I'm still seeing the php tags on the live site. – Chris Herbert Jan 14 '13 at 06:04
