I can't help you with the connection problems or Wordpress interfering with the charts, but the alignment issues are usually caused by one of two things: either the charts are being drawn before the API is done loading, or the charts are being drawn inside hidden divs (hidden divs mess up the API's dimension detection algorithms). I looked at your code, and the method you are using (Gadget loading) shouldn't result in any loading issues, but you do display the charts inside a tab interface, which is implemented as a series of divs that get hidden and shown when the user clicks on the appropriate headers - this is why the chart alignments are off. Normally, the way to fix this is to either draw all charts before enabling the tab interface, or draw the charts in a tab the first time the tab is opened. Gadget loading is incompatible with both of these strategies, however, as there is neither a way to control when the gadgets are drawn, nor is there a way to capture "ready" events from the gadgets to know when it is safe to initialize the tabs. To fix these problems, you would have to change the way you are creating the charts.
