Hi! I am Chris Hamilton, (very) amateur web site creator and Barbershop Quartet singer.

I need to edit my active site, www.feverpitchquartet.uk, but I cannot find the project files even though I have recovered the RapidWeaver app. What file names should I be looking for? Where are they; and how do I re-install them?

I am using cPanel on Heart Internet and RW 7 & 8.

Any help would be great!

Hi @ESWebman,

The project file will have an extension like one of the following (if I’m mistaken, I’m sure someone will correct me):

RapidWeaver versions 1 and 2: [filename].rwp
RapidWeaver version 3: [filename].rw3
RapidWeaver versions 4 and 5: [filename].rwsw
RapidWeaver version 6: [filename].rw6
RapidWeaver version 7: [filename].rw7
RapidWeaver version 8: [filename].rw8
RapidWeaver Classic: [filename].rwc

As you can name your project file anything, we can’t help you with the [filename] bit, but if you use Spotlight Search in macOS (Command+Space or click the magnifying glass in the macOS menu bar) you can look for any files with one of the extensions above.

Cheers,
Erwin

Hi, the project files are on your Mac and not on the server of your hosting provider. Only if you have selected to save a backup on the server of your hosting provider, you will find a copy there. It looks something like this, a lot of random characters and numbers, then _rwbackup:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_rwbackup

Both replies super helpful - Thanks!

Opening the project, I got “Missing theme” message, so re-installed “Royale” as designed. Now I have the message
“The Stacks Plug-in is missing”. I have tried the link to “Search the RapidWeaver Community”. Chrome can’t connect - timed out. Firefox goes to the RW forum and Safari does nothing! Where can I find Stacks and re-install it?

Kind regards,

Just seen the message about Stacks version number. "File written with Stacks v4.3.0 (6300).” So I guess I need V4.3.0 or later?

Kind regards,

Hi @ESWebman,

Looks like you’ve lost Stacks somewhere down the road.

If you still have you license key, you can download the correct version (4.3 in your case) here.

If you don’t have your license key anymore, it’s best to contact Yourhead (Stack’s publisher) directly and ask for support, here.

Cheers,
Erwin

For Stacks, go to lookup to find the serial number. At Stacks you will find the older stacks versions.

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Curiously, while crawling the newly discovered project directory, I clicked on the file for Stacks4 and it immediately raised a link to update, which I followed. So I now have updated stacks4 and what appears to be a fully functioning project!

Now to see if the updates will publish!
Thanks for all your help.

Kind regards,
