 * Great plug-in. Have few questions :
    1) I’m trying to use inside ‘shortcoder’
   plug-in and page id as variable. It gives 500 error. Otherwise works fine outside
   2) Looses formatting when ‘title’ is displayed and might be for ‘content’ also
   3) I have sub-title plug-in called ‘kia-subtitle’. How to extract sub-title 4)
   Is it possible to display ‘buddypress’ group pages?

 * Hello, thank you for letting me know.
 * 1) I have not used the Shortcoder plugin, but it sounds like there is some conflict
   there. 500 error could mean that there’s an infinite loop created somehow. Could
   you tell me the code you’re using?
 * 2) By default, the title is not formatted and the content should be. You can 
   force formatting by setting `format="true"`.
 * 3) It depends on the name of the field. You can try to find it by going to _Dashboard-
   > Content_, to look for the field name where the subtitle is stored.
 * 4) This also depends on how the page and groups are stored. I believe BuddyPress
   uses its own database tables, in which case this plugin doesn’t have a way (yet)
   to get the data. If the page and groups are stored as “normal” custom post type
   and taxonomy, then it would be possible to display them.
 * There was another request about adding BuddyPress support, so I’ll try to look
   into it – but I think it will take some time to implement.

 * I was using ‘shortcoder’ plug-in and the syntax was,
    [sc:insert-article page
   =%%pageslug%%] and the resulting shortcode is [content type=”page” name=”pageslug”].
   This was giving a 500 error. 2) I will check on title formatting and subtitle
   field 3) Buddypress groups : You are right. BP uses something different than 
   CPT and writes directly to wp tables 4) In futue, you may consider, ‘AWPCP’, 
   popular classifieds plug-in. It is also similar to BP, does n’t use CPT, but 
   writes directly to wp tables. Thanks for all the support.

 * Do you have documentation available outside apart from the plugin page?
