Updating very old XF install

[MrWorldWide]

Guys I have a website with a lot of customization, currently still running XenForo 1.5.20. If possible I would like to update XF and all active addons without losing the current site functionality. This is an adult site, so if you have an issue with that you wouldn't want this job.

The site is modified to display stories from users on the index page. If there have been addons developed in the last few years that would do a better job of allowing multiple users to 'author' their own stories and archive them on their profile, I'm definitely open to using them. I understand that there is now an addon to merge WP with XF, which might provide that functionality. I'm not expert enough with the software to make that determination but I would be interested in a more informed opinion.

If interested PM me for url and further discussion.

Sounds like XenAddons Article Management System or core XF 2.2 functionality.

I investigated AMS for a writing site similar to what @MrWorldWide describes and found nicely suited to the job.

But I have toyed with the native article forums for the purpose as well. AMS does add some nice features but article forums can be a good option with some careful setup.
