    Hello All,

    I have a fairly ambitious WP/WP development initiative that will involve quite a few data points (hundreds) that are associated with a specific member. This data will be displayed on the users profile, searched and manipulated for various reports.

    It appears that I have two storage options within WP/BP, store the data in BP xprofile or in a WP custom post (referencing the username).

    I would like get some feedback from the community on the advantages and disadvantages of each storage method.

    TYIA,
