Fix PNG transparency problem for IE6 in WordPress

How to fix PNG transparency for IE6 in WordPress?

i had a terrible problem with my wordpress blog. I designed a new logo for my blog in PNG image and since png format supports transparency it blended very well with the theme header background. Of course everything was perfect with Firefox 3 and every latest browsers.

I know that many many people still use older PCs and decided to checkout my blog in IE 6. The logo was terrible and it gave a shady background with the theme header.

It took me a while to find out that older browsers IE6 and others do not support transparency with PNG images. There are many ways to fix the PNG transparency problem either in the form of CSS or javascript. Since i am running a wordpress blog, i am glad that i found out WP pngfix plugin.

Download: WP Pngfix plugin.

I installed It worked like a charm and the shady transparancy problem was fixed like shown below.
