Hi there,

I have a WordPress website with premium pages protected by s2member’s “custom capabilities” feature.

Unfortunately, when these premium pages are viewed in IE 9.x, I occasionally get a “404 Page Not Found” error. However, when the page is “Refreshed,” the page is displayed properly and the “404” goes away.

I’m wondering if anybody has experienced this problem with protected pages before and/or have any idea of a workaround, so that users don’t have to manually refresh each time.

Thank you all very much in advance, and please let me know if I need to post anymore information regarding this issue.

Hello Quoc,

From what you describe, there really isn’t any way to fix this, this is very probably an error that can only be caused by IE, because of how it handles the data and stuff. :/

If you want to fix it, it really would involve a really lot of time of debugging, and just testing until IE likes the way it works. This can of course be a very big loss of time…

Thanks for your reply Eduan.

I was debugging like crazy over the past few days and your conclusion makes sense to me. It seems that IE has issues when trying to load large video files. And overall it indeed turn out to be a huge waste of time. Safari & Opera worked flawlessly.

The other possible thing I noticed too was that (could very likely) have something to do with the way WordPress handles frames. Both the variety and the “old school” style. The frames would load correctly about 50% of the time in IE. And the other times, you could manually refresh the individual frames and they would finally render properly.

In the end, I just decided to remove the frames (they were super convenient main menu frames) and just pasted the content at the top of each frame.

It makes it less convenient for the user to navigate since they have to scroll up each time but alas the combo of IE 9.x and/or WP forced my hand.

OK, glad you got it working. Right now pretty much anything I develop, I don’t really take the time for it to work correctly with IE, it’s a huge loss of time debugging for IE.
