  • Hi Elliot,

    thanks for the great plugin – one question: I’m currently working on a community install of WP/BuddyPress. I hadn’t looked at BP for a while because the integration with WP wasn’t as good as I had hoped for, particularly with respect to

    Maybe my grasp of the plugin’s structure is insufficient, but I can’t get this done.
