Hi all, I have been working on a project using “Foundry” PS: Foundry is not my issue! and today I have tried to open the project and just couldn’t. As we all know when you click on a project and if the theme is missing it will tell you that it will apply Offend them, fair enough. My issue is that I can not even apply that theme to open it and then change to my theme. Any advice how can I retrieve my project?? ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/d/de903cd6ed3dd34b48e19ee7cbc49f8326a0b920.png) Snapshot attached. Thank you! ---

Looking behind your error msg windows… why do you have a Shape Theme and Stacks folders on your desktop? Those need to be in a RapidWeaver folder. Did you pull them out? What version of RW are you using? ---

@1611mac I just purchased the Shape theme for another project, I will add Theme to RW folder later 🙂 Thanks! As for my issue, I am using RW 7.2.2 and Foundry after downgraded from 7.3 since it gave me too many issues! ---

Hi @monica. Can you zip up your project file and send it to [support@realmacsoftware.com](mailto:support@realmacsoftware.com) please? It’s quite straightforward for us to fix, assuming nothing else has gone wrong with your project. ---
