 * Hi Jacky! Hope all has been well for you. I would like to see if you have theme
   recommendations when using the plugin? I am looking to make the site strictly
   a writing community. Not really worrying about all the features that plugins 
   like buddy press offer but will like to use registration and writeshare. I am
   just wondering which theme have you come across that is a really good fit for
   WriteShare and this type of community?
 * Thanks

 * Are use the Genesis seems from Studio press. The official releases from WordPress
   or also terrific. I love Twenty Seventeen. Beaver builder light is also a terrific
   way to customize anything easily in for free. Good luck and let us know how you
   make out!

 * I have used Elementor and Site Origin Page Builder. I love those as far as customizing
   themes. I was just asking to see if you knew of any out the box that you preferred
   using that you may have used from the get go. Twenty Seventeen def looks like
   a great possibility. I will play around with them and see what I come up with.
   One last question, which social plugin do you prefer to pair with WriteShare?
   I have used BuddyPress, WPSymposium, and Peepso. Any recommendation based on 
   experience?
 * Thanks again

 * BuddyPress is great. I haven’t tried the other two, so if you do, please let 
   me know. I’d like to have a look. Thank you!

 * I am going to use something else and will let you know. Question I have now is
   if I choose to use a social network plugin with WriteShare, how do I set it up
   to where I can let the social plugin control registration and login/logout vs
   WriteShare? I am still trying to decide if I want to use a social plugin with
   it as WriteShare is ready out the box to allow users to join and control everything.

 * You’d just change the user status for registered members.
    wp-admin/users/ find
   the user
 * WriteShare
    Writer Privileges User has writer privileges – check that off and
   save.

 * It’s a new site so no users yet. Do I uncheck make authors automatically and 
   leave registration up to the social plugin?
