Better/Easier Upgrade process ?

sounds good! will give it a try next time. any specific reason the vbseo guys then ask us to close the forums ?

I do get your point and will look into a more streamlined way to upgrade

In fact, you just gave me an idea... if no new options are added to the software itself, you can upgrade by simply overwriting all files EXCEPT config_vbseo.php. This would be the case when upgrading from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 for example. The issue is that upgrade instructions must be generic enough to work for someone that is upgrading from 2.0.0 to 2.2.2 for example. I'll look into this though.

Good news guys! We've made some changes to the upgrade process. The backup/restore part will not be necessary during the upgrade process after vBSEO 2.3.3 (although the feature will still be available)

... can't wait to see who wins the next "vBSEO Upgrade Challenge" - Perhaps we should make it an official contest

Great work juan. Cant wait for the next version and the easier upgrading process!! vBSEO has been one of the best softwares I've bought because its got an amazing set of guys running the co. You actually listen and deliver and that in my books is the best one can expect

Happy Holidays

Thanks! appreciate that
