Yes I did do that first. I deactivated all plugins except for the Events plugin and it did’t change anything. Then I installed twentytwelve and it worked perfectly.
There are quite a few bugs with this theme and I’m really unhappy with it but too much is invested in it and I have to just hope they fix things on their end. But as for extra help in the forum, even though its paid-for, is really bad. The response that finally helped for last this thread I posted wasn’t even by the developers, it was from another user. So I REALLY appreciate your help.
