Some Pre-Sales Questions

We're interested in using XenWord for https://www.deeperblue.com but have a few questions:

1. We have WP on www.deeperblue.com and XF on forums.deeperblue.com - they are on the same server although different domains - will this work
2. What happens to WP profiles? We use WP profiles to drive the byline/bio of our authors and I don't want to lose those on our WP articles
3. Is there syncronisation between WP comments and XF posts on specific threads generated for a WP post?

There may be more questions but let's start there.

Hi

Sorry for the very slow response but this week has been very rough.

1. Subdomains are fine but they still must be on the same virtual server.
2. This site pulls an author box and bylines from XenForo. There is an option to turn this off but I don't recall the best way to handle this accept that user_Id in XenForo must match the ID in WordPress for admin, authors, editors, and contributors.
3. There is a comments.php file in XenWord that pulls XenForo posts and shows them on the WP side. However, the XenForo posts are not written to the WP database.
