I have not been able to Preview some of my pages for a couple of years now. See previous post here: > [@RW 7.2.2 (18500) Unable to Preview](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/rw-7-2-2-18500-unable-to-preview/12731): > > I am unable to preview a page while editing my website. If I select the Preview tab I get a nicely formatted page that says: “The requested page couldn’t be found” “This page could not be previewed. The page may not exist, or something went wrong”, and then a “Go Back” button. If I then select another format (anything other than the previous default), I get" Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /Applications/RapidWeaver 7.app/Contents/Resources/RWWebServerLaunch.php on li… I’ve just upgraded to RW8.4.1 (20817) and it’s still not working for _some_ of my pages. Pages at the “first” and “second” level can be previewed, but none of the pages at a “third level” will preview. Here’s a screenshot of what I mean: ![29%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/7/5/75f070127ada2c01b5e0fbd847700da9a8191a90.jpeg) I just have arrows on a subset, but the concept applies throughout. None of the lowest level pages can be Preview’d. If I publish, everything looks fine. It would just be nice to be able to look at a page before publishing it. I’d like to somehow file a RW bug with this so it get’s looked at someday. ---

Reading the old post and new, it’s got to be something “project” specific that’s causing the issue. It looks like those are styled text pages. I just ran a test and got 6 levels down with a simple page and had no problem previewing. Have you tried creating a new project (just for a test) and create a text page and nest it 3 levels deep? If that works with just some text then I’d try copying some of the data of the pages that aren’t working. ---

I’m using Stacks. No plain Styled Text pages. ---

That’s strange the icons in the sidebar don’t look to be stacks pages. Either Styled text or an Offsite page. Without the project file it’s going to be hard to say. ![2019-11-26_14-56-43](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/d/c/dcdcd9898096724e6daadf821143454e0994e5eb.jpeg) ---

OK, just checked, and yes “Use Generic Page Icons” was turned on. ---

Is it possible the theme doesn’t support a third level to the navigation menu? ---

> [@robbeattie](#): > > theme doesn’t support a third level to the navigation menu? What theme are you using? It looks from the screenshot that you are on the page and select preview and then get the error? I don’t think it’s a navigation issue as you still should be able to preview a page, even pages that aren’t in navigation can be previewed. Do you get the same error when you right click on the page and preview with a browser? > [@morejanice](#): > > If I publish, everything looks fine Have you made a change to one of the pages that “couldn’t be found” and seen the change on the published page? ---

Yes, that is how I have been working for the past couple of years. It’s just the preview that has not been working. ---
