XF 2.1 Switch from xenforo 2 to xenforo 1.5
- Thread starter liko881

XenForo 1.5 has been EOL for quite some time ...
Stick with 2.2, it is way better in countless aspects and it is supported.
Converting XenForo 2.2 to vBulletin and then importing this to 1.5 is just ... completely crazy
It most likely would not work anyway as you would need a recent vBulletin Version to be able to import XenForo 2.2 and XenForo 1.5 most likely would not be able to import from such a version.
Furthermore you would most likely loose all indexed URLs.

Any reason if you'd like us to try to help "fix" that?

There's no way to return to XenForo 1 without a database backup. Importing around through other softwares is likely just going to break something.
I guess that won't work:
Well, strictly speaking this is most likely not correct - with enough effort one could manually reverse the schema changes and rebuild master data.
But I'd expect nobody sane would do that

Is it in admin CP where you have trouble? Or in the forum aesthetic?
Perhaps you can make a suggestion to make the forum modular and be able to disable the new features like question threads articles etc.
i have the same issues too, while xf2 maybe better since its newer in terms of functionality, in terms of aesthetics is a complete garbage . even if you look at premium professional styles they are trash too. i played with it trying to make it similar to my xf1 and found it very hard to do it, there are no "building blocks" as they were in xf1 making the whole site looking flat and poor

Wanting to do this is wrong on so many levels, therefore, there is no easy way to do it. You're clearly not an expert admin who can navigate the significant technical challenges in achieving this, so you'll have to either pay someone to do it for you, or perhaps pay someone to skin XF2 to look like XF1. Good luck. Or just take the sensible option and stay with XF2, no luck needed.

If you can setup a test forum XF2 send me a private message with the link and I can try to help you modify the aesthetics. Will work best if you currently have an xf1 example forum that we can cross reference. This could be an opportunity for me to practice my editing skills. I also enjoy simplistic aesthetic.
