RapidWeaver Elements 1.3.3 (23871) I’ve encountered a problem with a project imported using the “[BETA] Import Classic Project” feature. The CMS doesn’t seem to work (“No item found”), although it works fine in a blank project created directly with Elements. Have you come across this kind of problem before? ---

No, but it’s probably just not set up quite right. If you share your project we can take a quick look and let you know what the issue it 🙂 ---

Yes, sorry for the delay. It seems your project was an imported Classic project and was using an option that Elements doesn’t support, something like “Relative to Docroot”. ![CleanShot 2025-09-30 at 9 .18.17@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/d/b/dbebdab9000ec11521b5d11be8f2b640547a2d0b.jpeg) However, the good news is we’ve now fixed this in Elements. The fix will be available in the next build (due tomorrow). ---

Thank you. I have checked my Classic project. It was not “Relative to Docroot” but “relative to website Address”. ![advanced](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/c/f/cf5c1e447b74db4499877a5c18e129d7a7db2373.jpeg) I don’t remember why I had changed this parameter. ---
