# Wait – Install How??

 * Okay, I am so thankful that this plugin hasn’t died out with Oliver letting it
   go. My forms are gorgeous and I have 20 of them. I have been researching all 
   night and I’m just trying to understand the specific process to get to the new
   version.
 * I saw someone posted over here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/losing-data-on-deactivateactivate?replies=2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/losing-data-on-deactivateactivate?replies=2)
   that this is the way.
 * 1. Deactivate DD version 14.6.
    2. Download wordpress.org 14.6 version, upload
   and activate. 3. Use core updater to get to 14.9.2.
 * Please bear with me I’m just trying not to lose my forms at all. I realize **
   I do have the DD version 14.6 currently installed**. So, do I have to now:
 * 1. **deactivate my current version**
    2. move my one modified CSS version to 
   the cforms-custom folder I made and then 2. install the version 14.6 **base **
   version from here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/cforms2/developers/ (_asking
   because there are several versions 14.6.1 through 14.6.11_)
 * Is that the correct order? **Or can I skip downloading the 14.6 version from 
   WordPress** and just go from my DD version to the new 14.9.2?
 * And one more thing. **You suggest backing up the database. How? Is this a separate
   database from the main WP install?** I didn’t see that anywhere in your support
   documentation.
 * Thank you so much for keeping this alive. You should charge at least $5 for it.
   Just saying; I’d pay that for fast support for cforms.
