Solution:

The older version of the JavaScript no longer works and paths/reference were changed and or removed. You will need to download the latest if you are hosting the source locally because of the lack of integrity tags with the CDN.

If I missed anything please let me know and I'd be happy to add it to my answer, or feel free to comment below with any additional information.

I hope this helps!

If you have any other questions, please let me know. Thank you again for your time and patience throughout this issue.

Looks like the older version of this javascript no longer works and paths/reference were changed and or removed. For other folks, you will need to download the latest if you are hosting the source locally because of the lack of integrity tags with the cdn.
