I was referred to you (LPH) by Bob, the developer of the Showcase addon. He said you may be the best person to answer this question.
I've been using Wordpress for years, on many client sites, as well as sites of my own. Now, i am creating a new review site which allows my visitors to review a certain type of product, around which the entire site will be based, similar to this site >>> http://www.tractorbynet.com/guide/
There will also be a forum, as well as articles/news type content produced by me. My plan was to use Wordpress as I've always done, but after wasting several moths and a good amount of money trying to get the reviews component created, I discovered XenForo.
After creating the forum, I began to discover the flexibility of XenForo and determined that it could also be used for the Reviews part of the site, not just the forum. My question now is, could/should I use Xenforo for the whole site, including the article/news type content? Should I just scrap Wordpress for this site?
Or, should I keep Wordpress, and use your XenWord addon to merge the two? I'm a little confused here trying to figure the best way forward, and trying to avoid as many mistakes as I can. Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.
