Question: Will you be upgrading to RW 7?

RapidWeaver Classic
124

Should be, the process will likely be similar to upgrading to version 6…

  1. Make sure you are using RapidWeaver 4.5.1

  2. If using Yourhead Stacks, make sure you’re using Version 2.7.1

  3. Update all your plugins (Stacks, Themes, Page Types)… (Restart)

  4. Open EACH project you want to bring into RW7 with RW 5.4.1 AND SAVE it

  5. (Possible step) - Download & Install Demo of RW6 and Stacks 3

  6. (Possible Step) - Use RapidWeaver 6 -> Copy Addons from RapidWeaver 5… (Restart RW)

6a. (Possible step) - Update all your plugins (Stacks, Themes, Page Types)… (Restart RW)

6b. CAUTION - NOT all plugins you have installed in RW5 are available for RW6 so be sure to check the developers website to make sure there is a RapidWeaver 6 version available and download if the import from RW5 causes any issues with a particular Plugin. Same goes for Stacks. Some stacks only work in Stacks 2.x and Stacks 3 is required for RW6+ (Thanks @Zeebe).

  1. (Possible step) - Open each project file you want to convert and save each using RW6 to change the file format

  2. Follow guide for RW7 Update…

This is conjecture at the moment as the official release notes and software has not been released yet. BUT, for sure, update your RapidWeaver 5 to 5.4.1 and Stacks to 2.7.1 and run your projects through them, updating any stacks and plugins you have installed… this will almost inevitably save time for upgrading to RW7
