Does this plugin work with WordPress MU (multi-user)?

We haven’t tested or explicitly built the plugin to work with WordPress MU. That’s not to say it won’t work, only that our initial release did not target a multi-user environment.

Is this plugin compatible with issue-based Canvasflow publications?

Yes, the plugin will detect the Canvasflow Publication type connected and adapt the options available accordingly.
