Thanks

haven't tried but first upgrade joomla to J3  (only tested on fresh J3 so far)

then just install vm2.9 over the top
it is backwards compatible to J2.5 as well so is just a normal install

Why not the other way round?

Logic tells me to install VM 2.9.4 first and then update Joomla no? or it doesnt matter?

What I have read always is that before upgrading Joomla you should first update extensions to for Joomla 3.x but correct me if im wrong please.

I usually update Joomla first, get the template sorted, then start on components, modules & plugins.

1. uninstall VM2.6

You should NOT uninstall the vm2 core, aio or extensions. Otherwise you may get new ids and you get in trouble.

As the warning says, check your safepath settings
