Hi,
I've bought a paid version of JoomSEF. After about one year, I accidentaly upgraded it and the "Joomla SEO powered by JoomSEF" mark appeared on every page of my site.

As I don't really need the latest version of JoomSEF, how can we downgrade this component to our licenced version in order to make the JoomSEF mark disappear?

Thank you

Hi,

There's no other way to downgrade JoomSEF but uninstalling it and installing the older version again.

You should be able to preserve all your URLs and configuration though. First of all make a backup of your whole website files and database! Before uninstallation, backup the /administrator/components/com_sef/configuration.php file. When you uninstall JoomSEF, all the tables in your database starting with jos_sef will have the _bak suffix added, so no data are lost. When you install the older version again, just restore the configuration.php file from the backup, and in your database delete all the tables starting with jos_sef that don't end with _bak, and then rename the ones with _bak so that you remove the _bak suffix.

There is no /administrator/components/com_sef/configuration.php I cannot find it.

Hi,
New versions of JoomSEF store its configuraion in database. For JoomSEF 3 it's located in jos_components table in the params column. The main JoomSEF record has parent=0 and option=com_sef values.

OK, so what do you suggest, how to downgrade full version of joomSEF 3.9.5 to joomSEF 3.8.2 ? After upgrade to 3.9.5 I cannot see all SEF URLS because listing is not working. When I set view to 20, 50 or 100 I can see just 20,50 or 100 but I cannot go to next page, there are no buttons 2,3,4.... next... and when I set view to "all" I cannot see any URL. Same problem is when viewing sitemap URLS in component. Can it be PHP problem? I have PHP 5.3.10. joomSEF 3.8.2 was working fine on same PHP version. Any suggestion how to fix it or how to do downgrade but save all settings and URLS.

Thank you for help.

Could you post a screenshot of the bottom part of URLs Manager page?

There's currently no way to automatically preserve configuration when downgrading. You will need to set it manually after installation of older version.
