Hi Rob,

We’d be glad to take a look, what is the URL to the page that the calendar is on?

From looking at the page source, I can see that there are a few possibilities here. One is that the theme has hardcoded a version jQuery that is not included with WordPress. It’s best practice to load in the jQuery library that’s bundled with WordPress. There is some more information and some example code for how to fix this here:
https://eventespresso.com/2012/08/using-jquery-in-safe-mode/

Although this may not be the only issue. There is also some embedded JavaScript in the mailchimp signup for in the footer widget, which is calling yet another version of the jQuery library. That needs to be removed. I don’t know if this is from a plugin, or the theme, or was pasted in, but this really should be removed:

script.src = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js';

This should be tracked down and removed, it looks to me like it is in a widget, but you may know right away where the code is coming from.

It may also help to try deactivating some of the other plugins that are outputting JavaScript onto that page to narrow this down.

Yeah, the mailchimp code actually does a check for jQuery, and if it’s loaded, it won’t load the other copy, which should be fine.

If you can swap in the WordPress bundled version of jQuery, it should fix the issues you’re having. Here’s a copy of that page with the bundled version of jQuery swapped in:

So if you look at this section of the WordPress codex:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script#Load_a_default_WordPress_script_from_a_non-default_location

You’ll note the warnings there about loading a default WP script from a non-default location.

So in the code example this:

function my_scripts_method() {
    wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
    wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js');
    wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}    

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_method');

can be changed to this as an example:

function my_scripts_method() {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}    
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_method');

That looks like it, although not knowing what is before that ‘else’, I can’t say for sure.
