Hi all,  
This has never happened before. I’m unable to save my website projects.  
Up until today all has been well. I am using Rapidweaver 7.3, may have updated in the last couple of days.  
I’m using El Capitan 10.11.5. I have been able to make a new project with 1 page and save that, but neither of my other 2 websites Ive been working on will now save. Not as ‘save’ nor as ‘save as’.

I’ve been working on the code trying to get Facebook Open Graph to work (unsuccessfully so far) on both of them. Could it be that?

Can anyone advise?

Haven’t had that problem since RW6 and save as always worked for me. Any messages popping up when you save?

The document “LB Contractors 2017” could not be saved.  
If this happens frequently, please try saving the document using “Save As…” to a new location. If you’re still experiencing issues, contact Realmac Software support.

Well if save as didn’t work I would try maybe removing the open graph stuff you last added.

Maybe check your hard disk for failing sectors.

Assuming it’s maybe your HD then try popping in an USB HD or memory stick and saving to that. If it works then you probably have HD problems or … its full?
