No. There are no new database tables with this plugin.
No. All of WordPress's core database tables remain untouched.
No. This is best left to plugins that choose to integrate with this plugin.
LH User Taxonomies, and all LocalHero plugins are made to WordPress so should work with all well coded plugins and themes. But not all plugins and themes are well coded (including many popular ones). If something does not work properly, firstly decativate ALL other plugins and switch to one of the thesmes that come with core (e.g. twentyfirteen, twentysixteen etc). If the problem persists pleasse leave a post in the support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lh-user-taxonomies/ . I look there regularly and resolve most queries.
