Installed mojave lost RapidWeaver 7-4 websites

@DaveH

Each file for the website has been been re-organised (contents, pages, resources, shared plug-in data) but the .rw file is missing for them all

Have just downloaded RapidWeaver 8 - when you go through Rapid 8 - Open - Click the website folder (not even the .rw fil) and the website opens as a rw8

Does the folder that replaced the rapidweaver project file look something like this?

Does the folder name end with .RW for RW7 or .RW8 for RW8?

Since you said you are able to open the “folder” that was the RW7 project with RW8, I would think it still needed to be named ????.RW. By chance do or did you have Perian an Open source QuickTime component installed?
If so might check out this post:

RW Project Files saving as Folders - Mac OS High Sierra

Hi, this is my first post. I like many others have been baffled as to why my RW Project files have been appearing as folders albeit with the RW icon. I followed suggestions of using OnyX to rebuild the LaunchServices without success although this had worked in the past. The Answer: was to go to the user Library>PreferencePanes where I found ‘Perian.prefPane’ Press the button Uninstall and restart… Job done. I hope this may help others experiencing this problem.
