aRRaNGe Theme is missing

I have two home pages designed in the aRRaNGe theme. I’m trying to update to the
Rapid Weaver 9,3,4 but get the message that the theme is missing.
What can I do. Somehow import aRRanGE or do I have to start all over designing the pages

Thanks

So it seems that your Themes and Stacks that you have used with a former version of RapidWeaver don’t show up in your RW9 library? Is there anything else missing apart from the aRRaNGe theme?

Does everything show up fine when you open your project in the older version of RW? If so, then you just have to move that theme from the addon-location of the old RW installation to the addon-location of the RW9 installation. IMO you definitively don’t have to start all over again.

By the way: Are you really sure you want to continue using such an old theme? It’s from 2008 (by Henk Vrieselaar), so it’s about 17 years old and therefore technically complete out of date…

Hi Mattias

Thanks for your advise but I think I will stay with arrange if it is possible.
My homepage is rather simple but it works well for me and a few fans.

My new question is, how do I move the theme from the old site to the new.
The old program is really old, 4.4.2

Hi Gerry.

There will be three steps get the aRRaNGe theme working inside RW Classic:
Revealing the addon-folder of your new RW9.3.4 installation and revealing the addon-folder of your old RW4.4.2 installation. After that it’s only copy and paste (or drag and drop).

As for RW9 it’s very easy. Just select “View” → “Reveal Adons Folder”. In that folder you’ll see a folder named “Themes”. That’s where you will have to place the aRRaNGe theme.

As for RW4.4.2 I cannot tell you if you can do the same as with RW9. I wanted to download that version from the Realmac site to try it but the links to the older RW versions don’t work.
So just have a look if you find a similar option inside RW4. If not, just make a normal system search (Spotlight) in your finder to find the aRRaNGe theme. Maybe you already have found a copy of it.
Then you can place the theme in the Themes folder for RW9, restart RW (if it should be open) and you should be good to go.

It could also work to just drag the aRRaNGe theme on the RW9 icon in your dock to install that theme in the correct location (afterwards don’t forget to quit and restart RW).

If you shouldn’t be able to find your aRRaNGe theme anywhere just send me a PM and I can give you a download link to that theme.

Hope all this helps…

Thanks alot. I will work on it tonight
