XenWord 3.0.4.01 is now available in the download area of the store. This release is marked alpha because it is feature incomplete. The release is installed on Tux Reports, and the front page shows off some of the new features.
This version has very important bug fixes and all sites should be upgraded if the site is using the comment system.
Bug fixes include a fix to the comment system count for WordPress comments. The redirect for logout when clicking on the logout link in the WordPress toolbar has been fixed. Other bug fixes were very minor and found with a new PhpStorm PHP Inspection plugin.

New Installations
Before installing the XenWord plugin, please make sure you aligned the IDs and user_ids for the administrator, editor, contributor accounts. The www settings for WordPress and XenForo must be the same (including capitalizations).

Next, turn on advanced user mapping and map the secondary user groups to WordPress roles.
