WordPress 4.8 is now in beta. I held back releasing some of the changes in XenWord unless someone needed the changes in a ticket. Now that WP 4.8 is feature set then it's time to release XenWord 3.4.3.0.
The most important change is the Redux Framework upgrade to 3.6.5 for better PHP 7 compatibility. An earlier change was made to update tags during a WordPress post update.
Changelog
( 130 ) 3.4.3.0 - May 14, 2017

Added option to load xenforo.js. The option is off by default.
Bug Fix: class-xenword-thread-creation.php update tags on WP Post Update.
Pre-Sales Questions
Please ask any questions regarding this release in the pre-sales forum.
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). Create WordPress Administrator, WordPress Editor, WordPress Author, and WordPress Contributor user groups in XenForo. After activation, you must set the absolute path to XenForo. Next, turn on advanced user mapping and map the secondary user groups to WordPress roles.
Do NOT use sFTP to upload this plugin. Please use the Add New plugin under the WordPress plugins area.
Best Configuration
WordPress in the root and XenForo in a subdirectory is the most common installation. This is how I test all XenWord releases.
I have added a new testing environment with WordPress in a subdirectory but am not a fan of this setup. There is a special version necessary for redirects to work properly. You will need to open a support ticket if you run into this issue and don't want to move things to Method I.
Please do not use Method II in setting up a WordPress installation in a subdirectory. You will end up with 404 errors, irrelevant to XenWord. Please stick with Method I.
Upgrading
Please do not overwrite older versions of XenWord. Upload the zip file through the plugins –> Add New. Deactivate the older version. Login with your WordPress admin account, activate the new XenWord version. You will be asked to Login with the XenForo admin account. Go through all settings in the XenWord Settings Panel. Save and test.
Support
Please do not send a private message. If you run into issues then please open a new thread in the support forums. It’s vital that you add as much information as possible to help us figure out the issue. You are welcome to start a support ticket for anything server sensitive.
Documentation
New documentation for this version is slowly being uploaded. Video and screenshots may vary based on the release, therefore, feel free to post any suggestions and request clarification in the support forums.
Once again, I appreciate all of the feedback so that XenWord is improved.
