Resolved!
Since this was one of the first themes that I created, it isn’t as solid as some others that I have made, ie the one for my friend. As such, I was missing a rather vital element in the header for many plugins:
[code:23rd7qw7]<?php wp_head(); ?>[/code:23rd7qw7]
Now I have no excuse to not have my site ready to send off in my job search as soon as possible.
So, thanks for putting up with my foolishness, and I hope you and your family are doing well.
