Hello! I have been running a VB 4.2.5 site for nearly a decade (although the site was started by the previous owner in 1998!)
Anyway, I need to get away from VB because of issues with compatability, mobile usability, security, etc. It's just way past due.
So I have a few questions, in searching I'm not clear on it all.
- The current site is comprised of 2 parts a "front end" (wordpress based) and the forums (at subdomain forums.mysite.com). The look & feel of each is the same, and there was some custom work done on the wordpress side that pulled new threads and put them on a custom home page , etc.
I assume I'd need to change / update some of that. Are there any good WP / XF integrations out there?
- We have Photopost on the site which is ancient and can't even be downloaded anymore. Do I just get the XF gallery add on and will it take that info in?
- I use Google DFP to serve ads, I assume I'd need to re-integrate this, is it native to Xenforo or require a plugin?
Do I need to pay for continuous Xenforo support year after year, or jsut when upgrades are required? Some time ago this site was profitable but now I just keep it on for the community mostly. It's primarily break even now for hosting costs after the DFP ads and occasional advertiser. In other words, does the licnese expire after 1 year, or just the support?
