Hi to all,

I am experiencing an issue when trying to publish my site to a local folder on my desk-top. It occurs with current project and also when I create a new “test” project (any theme).

Untitled destination  
Publishing Method \> Local Folder  
Destination \>blah…blah/Desktop/New  
Website Address \> leave blank

When I go to publish I always get this pop-up

" **The website address is incorrectly configured** Please update the website address and try again"

NOTHING works. Closing and opening, rebooting MBP, etc…

\*Edited to say that I just did a sample site in RW7 and had no issue saving to local folder \> though it did ask me for the address website.

MacOS 10.14.6  
Rapidweaver 8.6  
Stacks 3.6.9

I’m living in isolation (as we all are) and have time to do a new site but cannot get past this error

What’s a boy to do?

All help appreciated,

Cheers,

Slavi

Try going to General in settings and typing in any web address there - [https://www.example.com](https://www.example.com) and then publish locally again.
