i installed it manually by uploading the appropriate js folder, css folder, images and referenced it in the html..and it's not working.

Could it be an issue with a specific theme you are using? Some themes do not always play well outside of their own sandbox. Perhaps try a different theme and see if you encounter the same issues?

I can't change the theme now lol...

hmmm... not sure why it's not working. it should work

You might want to create a thread on there support forum.

Could be another plugin that's not getting along with this one or something else. If there is an issue, the plugin author would be able to make changes to the plugin right away.

I have had a Similar problem. I found if all the images aren't in the right folder or the if something is pointing to the wrong place it won't work.
Try looking in the js file and make sure the folders are pointing to the right place.
