My experience with CiviCRM and WordPress is you need to manually go over each front-end page and restyle it to match your style guide. A pain but easier than turning off all of civi's css.

It might help to tell us what the issues were: ie. civi not running because the theme had some conflicting code, or visual issues where the css was hiding parts of Civi or vice versa.

@user4278 Friggin' beautiful. Works again. Many thanks.

Thanks for the info. Edit: Is there a place where I can try the patch out before? I need dedupe to test some issues I'm having with my database.

@Demerit Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't seem to have any effect. And Jern; So it's not just me? Hm...

I'm not sure what to look for but the file itself is html and calls for scripts. Opening the URL only loads CiviCRM home. Edit: Here's the file, dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/kyt1m18z3eomrkf/…

You would be correct - I thought it was a weird review to leave for Whitman's Leaves of Grass. This was the intended screenshot (I doubled checked it): dropbox.com/s/zqpb35yaoraz5x5/Ajax%20response.png?dl=0

Sorry, the ajax stuff isn't in my realm of knowledge and I forgot about what I read yesterday. The ajax "response" in Chrome's tab shows what looks like the page's html file - I have no idea where to search for the actual ajax: dropbox.com/s/4jnz9czoa2i4htz/Ajax%20response.png?dl=0

If the following isn't enough I'll have to look up how to check the ajax/url stuff. As far as I know, I only have access to the CPanel Error Log, which doesn't show anything recorded. Looking at my browser's inspector everything is loaded except for the civicrm logo "logo16px" (no idea why it's been missing since the install) and a 302 redirect from .../wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/contact/dedupe‌​find&reset=1&rgid=10‌​&gid=&limit=&action=‌​renew to .../wp-admin/.../dedupefind&reset=1&rgid=10&gid=&limit=&acti‌​on=update

I checked the dumps for the Foreign Key settings, and they had them in it. It looks like the issue was most likely due to existing tables, as per petednz's comment. Regardless, thanks for the help.
