I have an old website which doesn’t open on my oldest Mac which runs Mojave. Do you have the ability to open these files and save as RW Classic so I can use them on Tahoe? I’m happy to pay if you are willing to do it! I have and own RW 4, 8 and Classic. (and I own but can’t begin to figure out elements.) But RW 4 will not open in Mojave. I can load it on a thumb drive and mail it within the US unless you have a. better method. I also have old dreamweaver files if you are loaded! PS: Perhaps I just do not remember how to open a website from the finder. When I click on the folder name and see the files within, the word Open never becomes dark, it’s all greyed out. Is there one home file if I click on it, I’ll get the option to open? Sorry, so long since I functioned in this capacity. PPS: Basically I’m trying to be able to have a sense of how to start to create a website from that old web file. Now that Chili dogs are all gone, where to turn? Thank you! ---

Hi @clearstone Honestly it might be better to just hire someone to recreate your website in Elements. For example @Fuellemann offers that service however I’m not sure how far back he can go in regards to opening ancient RapidWeaver project files. He can let you know though.. ---
