Unfortunately no, I don’t really use many outside plugins since I spend most of my time designing themes. I usually just add custom code when I want something like that.
If the plugin’s developer/forum can’t help, then you could try posting on the StudioPress community forum. I’m sure there’s someone there who uses one of those plugins and may know how to assist.
As mentioned here this forum is really just geared towards supporting the themes and code that I’ve created, since that’s what I know.
