Website address http://letstalk.uk.net
Wordpress 3.4.1
Atahualpa 3.5.1

Search for a non-existent item, the error page displays properly as set up in Theme Options
Use the URL for a non-existent page, and there's a mess, and the header doesn't display properly.
Tried a lot of things, including replacing index.php in both root and theme folders.

Tearing my hair out now! Any suggetions, please.

When I put a non existant page in I get the same not found page as a bad search.

Yes, you're right. Sort of. I have a desktop machine running windows 7 64 and a laptop running windows 7 32. both using IE9. Not Found (page, not search) renders correctly on laptop, but not on desktop. I've tried deleting temp files to no avail. So I'm guessing it's not an inherent WP/Atahaulpa problem, and I'll need to keep fiddling elswhere. Thanks for the input, anyway, prompted me to try another machine.

cheers

try another browser too

Try clearing your browser cache. It also looks like you are using a custom 404 page. You might try renaming that (to disable it) as a test.

Nope, I tried a 404 but I've disabled it, and am just using the settings in ATO for "Not Found".

I've cleared cache several times. It continues to render differently on my laptop and desktop, so I'll carry on playing with it, and trying different browsers. Looks like most users get the correct experience, which is a relief.



Thanks for the suggestions and help.

this is starting to sound like a win 7 64 issue. - I beleive there are two versions of IE, a 64-bit and a 32-bit (why is a mystery to me ), try them both if you have them

I tried on IE 64 bit and all rendered correctly. Have you tried deactivating W3 Total Cache and minify?

Yup, deactivated all plugins. No change. I'm beginning to wonder if there's just something odd with my desktop machine IE setup.

IE "About" doesn't report if it's 32/64 bit, but both report the same version number.
