There are a few options if you're after a portal type page or articles but I don't want to link them from here since this is a vb support site.. but yes, IMO there are a few options for a CMS with xf.

Thank you, I've been looking into them. I found 2, one is more like a pinterest style and the other may work. Still checking into the SEO possibilities of their software as well.

Either way you go now after 4 months you may have some work ahead of you. You may need to start rebuilding links and start rebuilding your SEO after you sort how you want your links to be and how you want your SEO to be on the site.

4 Months and I've seen a 500% DECREASE in traffic/ ranking and consquently site revenue.

Um, we're not talking about SMALL dips here, we're talking about night & day difference.

Then you did not redirect properly. If you just turn vBSEO off, then this is exactly what will happen. Changing your URLS now yet again, without proper redirection in place (and it may be that you now have to cater two redirections - for the vBSEO and for the current URLs), will result in further backlash.

This is a vBulletin site. Be nice if you could give the XenForo propaganda a rest just for five minutes and let people actually assist the original poster, who will continue to have exactly the same issue if he switches software.

So, just to be clear then, the answer to the question "does XenForo have a Content Management System" is "No".

I agree. At this stage the original poster should focus on the current URLs rather than changing again.

Yeah that is pretty much what I was getting at with my post although I did not say it as well lol. I do not think it would matter what you were using at this point since it had gotten screwed up to begin with your would still have the same issue. you now have work ahead of you to go and fix the problem and readdress the URL'S properly.
