Does the confirmation of gravitational waves contradict String Theory?

So I'm new to reddit, but i don't know where to ask this.
Since the discovery of gravitational waves has confirmed that Einstein was right: gravity is a property of Space-Time, as Space-Time is deformed by mass, thus giving objects their trajectory through space; does this mean that String Theory is wrong?

I might have no understood String Theory right, but if i understand correctly, it, like some of the theories that are being tested at the LHC are looking for the graviton, the particle that transfers the force of gravity. 

To me it seems that these two theories are incompatible. I may be very wrong, since it's unlikely that I understood String Theory. Thank you.

No. String theory naturally incorporates general relativity. Therefore string theory is compatible with everything general relativity ("Einstein") predicts.

Also the LHC cannot just look for (massless) gravitons, since that would require essentially probing the Planck scale, which is borderline implausible in our Universe, let alone humans in this century. They are looking a variation in the form of massive Kaluza-Klein gravitons which are particles appearing in some specific models of large extra dimensions. These are almost always stringy models, but string theory exists and thrives very well without these hypotheses. These are just specific proposal people have made, they're not an essential part of string theory, and there's a lot of different ones.
