    Upgrade process?

    I'd like to upgrade to v.2.2 with the sitemap plug-in. I know that it's important to back up my vbseoconfig.php. From what I understand, the process is:
    Overwrite existing files including .htaccess

    What's next?

    Thanks in advance.

    @cmeinck:

    Please use your XML file back up from within your vBSEO Admin CP (vbseocp.php).

    1) Turn your forums offline.
    2) Backup vbseo-all.xml from your ./vbseocp.php file.
    3) Remove the vB SEO product from your AdminCP
    4) Upload the new vB SEO product to your AdminCP
    5) Upload all the files included in the ./upload folder. In BINARY, including your .htaccess file.
    6) Re-open your forums.

    Joe-
    Could you elaborate on the install process? I'm still not very clear on the actual steps for the upgrade?

    Thanks

    Thanks. How do I bring back my config settings? Do I upload my "old" existing vbseoconfig after the process?

    After the steps Michael indicated, from within your vBSEO Admin CP, import your XML backup file (vbseo-all.xml).

    Ah sorry about that, i was sure i had forgotten something *7 steps to heaven* as Joe stated simply revisit your ./vbseocp.php file and you'll be presented with an upload box to import your backup file again.
