### 󠀁[Issue on install](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-on-install/)󠁿

Once installed my home page was replaced with a completely different page. The page
displayed the page title and nothing else. This plugin did not work for me.

I had absolutely no problem to start my tests with a chat on a sandbox BP installation
after reading your support threads. The CSS you provide are not ideal in combination
with the theme I'm using (BOSS), but that's not something you have to care about.
Later on I will do more tests and let you know what my thoughts are. Thanks for 
this plugin.

### 󠀁[Excellent Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-support-293/)󠁿

I could not bring it to work, but that is for sure the problem of my site, as I 
am always one of the few where it not work. Why I give 5 Stars? Because the support
takes really care. Once I get rid of my general problems on the site, I will definitely
use it. Thank you for good work
