The first thing I would suggest is completely removing the plugin then downloading the latest version and re-installing it. It is very likely that any issues you are having have been fixed in one of the updates since the time the theme you are using was released.
Another thing to try would be updating the framework with the latest version of the
Vertex Upgrade Patch. The easiest way to install the patch correctly is given below:
===============
To install the patch:
1. Download the
Vertex Upgrade Patch.
2. Back up your site (just in case).
3. Copy the vertex/footer.php from the theme folder to somewhere safe (you'll be putting it back after patching).
4. Delete the vertex folder from the theme (nothing else, that is the
only thing to delete).
5. Extract the zip file containing the patch, and upload it to the theme folder through FTP, choosing "overwrite" if/when prompted.
6. Copy the footer.php file (from step 3) back into the vertex folder of the theme.
That's it.
Or, to put it a different way:
1. Back up vertex/footer.php.
2. Delete the vertex folder, then upload the extracted patch to the theme folder.
3. Put the footer.php file back into the vertex folder of the theme.
