I am using the current release of RapidWeaver Elements and I am seeing a persistent styling problem in one of my projects.
The site is ronniesaintclair.com. All pages used to export and publish correctly, but now the “Julian Hart – Turning Toward Love” page appears completely unstyled in the browser. It shows as plain HTML with default fonts and no layout. The URL is:
At first I thought this was a hosting or path issue, but I have now traced it back to the Elements export itself.
Here is what I am seeing:
I use File → Export Site… and export to a brand new empty folder on my local drive.
-
In that exported folder there is no rw/styles folder at all.
-
As a result, there is no consolidated.css file in the export.
-
The HTML for the problem page still includes a link to:
../../rw/styles/consolidated.css?rwcache=…
but that file simply does not exist in the exported site.
-
Since the stylesheet is missing, the page (and any new pages I add in that section) appear completely unstyled after publishing.
-
Other Elements projects export a normal rw/styles folder with consolidated.css, so this seems to be specific to this project.
-
I have already tried:
-
Duplicating the page
-
Recreating the page from scratch
-
Deleting and recreating the “Julian Hart” section
-
Publishing to a new local export folder
-
Manually deleting the old files on the server and re-uploading from the fresh export
-
In every case, this project exports without an rw/styles folder, so the CSS that the HTML expects is never written.
It feels like the CSS build step for this project has stopped running or has lost its configuration.
My questions:
Is there a known way for a project to end up exporting without rw/styles in Elements?
Is there any way to force Elements to rebuild the project-wide styles or reset whatever controls the consolidated CSS output for a project?
I am happy to send the .elements project file to Realmac if that would help diagnose it.
Thanks for any suggestions.
