It is hard to know where to start to be honest. To be blunt your website is throwing multiple and serious scripting errors. These can be initially boiled down to three issues although they may be hiding more when these are resolved. and you really should resolve them for things to work properly – not just SP.

So first issue is the loading of the main jQuery library. It is being force loaded from the google CDN. This codex article explains why this is a bad thing: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/troubleshooting/what-is-this-jquery-conflict/ – it is probably your WP theme loading this by the way. Note too that it is loading what is now an old, old version – not compatible with WP, SP or any other plugins using jQuery.

Next – there is one block of scripts being loaded twice. This block starts with the loading of the jquery.tools script. It includes the jquery.cookie script which, is also being loaded correctly by SP so you now have three copies of that!

And finally, while your WP theme IS making the mandatory call to wp_footer() it seems to be making it in the wrong place. It is being called AFTER the closing ‘body’ and ‘html’ tags and it should be called before.

So – badly constructed WP theme is the main problem plus a plugin loading scripts more than once. When those issue sare sorted things should work unless – as I said – they are simply disguising other issues.
