How to upgrade sh404SEF

I see that many people look for information on how to upgrade sh404SEF. This Joomla extension is a component, which means it's like an application inside your Joomla site.

Most Joomla components have their own tables in the Joomla site database. This is where the settings and data that the component uses are stored. These tables are (normally) not deleted when you uninstall the component. In the case of sh404SEF they are not deleted when you uninstall. At least that is how the component is set up by default.

When you have decided to upgrade sh404SEF you should check your 'upgrade configuration'.

You can decide whether to have sh404SEF delete the tables or other settings by adjusting the 'Upgrade configuration' in the sh404SEF configuration (the Advanced tab).
