What version of RW are you using? What version of OSX? Any RW plug ins? We need more information to help. ---

As far as I know, RW6 is no longer supported and will not work correctly with the latest MacOS. ---

Hello Scott, Thanks for your reply. I am using RW 6.4 And I am on a Mac Desktop with Catalina iOS V 10.15.4 [See screen snap]… I thought maybe I should just download/purchase RW 7…? I don’t know about plug-ins…how do i find out which ones I have?? Thanks, Ida ![Screen Shot 2020-05-24 at 4.05.16 pm.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/2/1/212884b471f3571e10bf7d7e786aef23d22d00ae.png) ---

OK…Thanks for your reply…It has been odd since the upgrade. So if I purchase and download RW 7 will I be able to transfer the whole site from RW6 ??? without any problems or losses??? Thanks, Ida ---

I’d advise upgrading to RW8, but you’d need to make sure that everything you use (Stacks, Plugins etc.) will be compatible with RW8. If you use the Stacks plugin, version 4 would also be the best option. But all of this depends on your budget and the time available to rebuild things in RW8. There’s a detailed upgrade guide here [https://help.realmacsoftware.com/en/articles/2201707-upgrading-from-rapidweaver-7-or-earlier](https://help.realmacsoftware.com/en/articles/2201707-upgrading-from-rapidweaver-7-or-earlier) ---

Ok…thanks Neil. I will have a read and then consider what the best course is. [The plug-ins are a bit of a mystery to me…a friend set up the original site using RW and I have just been involved in changing the content over the years…] Cheers, Ida ---
