Power SEO an OctoberCMS Plugin
=============

_Please note that this plugin was originally created by AnandPatel, however after 2 years of no support and many 
issues with the plugin, I have taken over the plugin development and maintain it under a new repository. This new 
version fixes the server errors in the old plugin._

## Migration from AnandPatel.SeoExtension
1. Backup Blog Posts - The fields added by `AnandPatel.SeoExtension` are renamed and prefixed with `powerseo_` in the 
migrations, which might fail on some servers if the right extensions aren't installed. 
3. Install `SureSoftware.PowerSEO`
4. Remove `AnandPatel.SeoExtension`

As all the syntax for the components are same for the `AnandPatel.SeoExtension`, to upgrade you only need to remove the 
`AnandPatel.SeoExtension` plugin and add `SureSoftware.PowerSEO`. All settings and component parameters should be 
migrated across.
