Hi GVector, it's crazy forum software for wordpress! I think it's best. But some features I dont undestand..

Why PROFILE field from forum and wordpress are DIFFERENT?

I mean:

Username

Nickname

Social Networks data

Biography / About Me info

Why was it done? What reason? All social plugins use wordpress fields and all good. (UserPro UserUltra etc) Why FORUM ACCOUNT user data SEPARATE from WORDPRESS?

It's amazing software .. but this thing without logic(. It's any method to sync this DATA?

The synchronization is being done on first activation of the plugin. Forum profile information is being created based on WordPress profile information. Those are the same.

Username is not changeable in WordPress and it's the same on wpForo. I don't see why you think they are different.
Nickname and Display Name are also the same
Social Networks data is extended on wpForo so they can't be the same.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.
