Purchased the pro this morning. But is there a step-by-step tutorial available for those switching from vbseo to dbseo? Sounds silly, but I?m a little bit afraid of breaking the whole site. Do I have to deactivate vbseo before importing and activating the dbseo plugin? The readme.txt is a little short on informations about that :erm:

I know there's importer in pro version and also that it could be done (up to some level) with free version (given here also), but there are some steps that we should follow, like disabling mod, editing .htaccess file, uninstalling.

If DBTech would post it in first post here and make it sticky on DBTech's site, it would be really appreciated.

There's a lot of us with vBSEO and speaking for myself, I'm planning to switch to DBSEO in one moment or another. Guide like this certainly would ease many of my worries and speed that process up. At least for me.

I hear you both, and in the next version, the Pro version will come with a dedicated readme.txt file with the step-by-step instructions for how to import from vBSEO to DBSEO.

For reference, I'll post the instructions here, even though the Lite version is lacking the vBSEO Importer step:

1. Upload the contents of the upload folder to your forum root

2. Open the .htaccess file in a FXP editor, comment out the vBSEO entries and add the DBSEO entries as per the readme.txt file, but not saving the file just yet

3. Disable vBSEO from the vBulletin Products & Plugins

4. Disable vBSEO Sitemap Generator from vBulletin Products & Plugins

5. Import the DBSEO product

6. Enter the DBSEO Control Panel via the ACP side menu link, click vBSEO Import and wait for it to complete

7. Save the .htaccess file edit from the FXP editor

8. Confirm that Forum Home, Forum Display and Show Thread pages load as intended

9. Chmod the ./store_sitemap folder to 077

10. Enter the DBSEO Control Panel via the ACP side menu link, click Sitemap Settings and enable sitemap generation

11. Click the Build Sitemap link and wait for it to complete
