## Description

Get BuddyPress goodness without the coding knowledge! Until now, BuddyPress has 
had a number of internal configuration options that were only able to be configured
by updating the code itself. With BuddyExtender, users now have the power to configure
those settings from the WordPress dashboard without ever laying a keystroke on code.

I was looking for a solution to remove ‘members’ from user profile slug without 
any changes to core files. This plugin did it on a button click… great job!

This plugin opens up options long awaited. While more experienced users might have
been using these things for quite a while, this plugin makes things available to
less skilled users. That’s a big thing. Thanks for bringing this plugin to the public.
The only thing missing from this plugin is LED lights.. 😉

Thanks for the great plugin, it’s really handy and is going to be a great resource
for a few client sites setup.
