I have just purchased Elements. I went to [https://weaverthemes.gumroad.com](https://weaverthemes.gumroad.com) and purchased a couple of themes, Natural and Solitude. I downloaded the Zip files. How on earth are these imported into Elements? ---

Hi and Welcome 🤗 Usually you double click to unzip the files… Then open the folder and double click the elements file! Best mike ---

I don’t believe that they are for Elements, but for Classic…If that is the case, they aren’t compatible. ---

Was just coming to say this, all the themes on that page are built for RapidWeaver Classic, not Elements. @ashisonline You might want to reach out to the theme developer to see about a refund as any theme you purchased there wouldn’t work in Elements. ---
