Having issues with CSS not rendering or JQuery version? Me too. I fixed it-kinda

So, I’ve been having issues for a while now. I ran up against the JQuery version issue, and avoided it by trying to do the prompted upgrade from the “lite” version to the “standard” version 1.10. Seemed okay, until suddenly the CSS stops rendering. Not sure why. But it was utterly unusable. I tried to get some help on the time.ly forums, and got one response asking for further info, and then no responses for 4+ days so far. I tried some of their suggested fixes, including checking for theme and plugin conflicts, but no dice. Well, I needed my calendar back, so here’s what I did instead:

I downgraded to 1.9 by doing a manual install (see directions here: http://support.time.ly/manually-upgrading-the-calendar/).

Then I had to fix the JQuery issue (as detailed here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-conflict-with-core).

And lastly I recopied the “themes-ai1ec” folder from the plugin’s directory to the wp-content folder (as suggested in some help or other topic on the time.ly site, I don’t remember where I found it, but this is key because I was getting just a blank page without doing this).

Finally, I have a functioning calendar again.
