    Upgrade and .htaccess rewrite?

    Hi all, i'm currently running vBSEO 3.3.0 RC2 (unpatched), i have just downloaded the latest version and am about to upgrade, i remember last time i upgraded it caused all sorts of problems because it rewrote the .htaccess file and some things then no longer worked in my forum, will this be the case again? do i need to upload the latest .htaccess file?

    Regards,
    Simon

    3.3 htaccess file has not changed in the sub version 3.3.0 - 3.3.1 - 3.3.2

    You shouldn't have any issues.

    Just be sure to back up your settings via vbseo_all.xml from the vbseocp.php control panel.

    Hello Simon ,

    You don't need to upgrade your .htaccess from 3.3.0 Rc2 to 3.3.2

    Thanks for your help, upgrade completed, one thing i will mention though, when following the steps and copying & pasting the new license key then saving it, if you then upload your settings that you saved (all_xml) the license key reverts back to your old one, i did re-copy and paste the key again but this step isn't in your upgrade instructions.

    Thank you for reporting. We are aware that the readme is a bit backwards on steps 4-7. This will be fixed with our next version.
