Great news on what appears to be a big update with lots of features weāve all been hoping for!
I hope @dan wonāt mind if I throw out some general advice on upgrading to new releases. With luck it will reduce some of the anguished posts on the forum in weeks to come.
If you are running 7.0.x on mission-critical sites, and everything is working for you, delay upgrading for a few days. There will no doubt be a 7.1.1 within a few weeks that fixes newly discovered issues. This is the nature of software.
If you do upgrade, make sure to back everything up and upgrade with a copy of your sites. Make sure that you can revert if you have to.
Iām personally looking forward to giving 7.1 a try.
It may be a great update but I canāt open any of my web sites because the stack 3 is not up to dateā¦
YourHead site doesnāt mention any of thatā¦ And now I am frightened I may have lost my sites ā¦
Here it works (AT LAST!) and exporting to local folder seems to be possible (AT LAST).
I still do not understand why I have to export ALL the site when I only change a broken link in 1 page
Open RapidWeaver, then hold down command and push 7, this will open the addons manager. Then click on Plugins and search for Stacks. It should say 3.2.3, if not, download the plugin from the Yourhead page
Have no clue about that. You can check to see if it is in the addons folder in the finder. Open RapidWeaver, then hold down command-option and hit 7. This will open the addons folder in finder. If you have the Stacks plugin listed there, click on it and do a get info (command-i) and it should say the version number for you.
Just right click the single page you want in the Pages pane on left and right click then āpublish page.ā It publishes the one page and all files associated with that page (css, etc.) I donāt trust smart publishing so that is about the only way I publishā¦
Hi Dan and RW Team, RW 7.1 broke my blog. The CSS is not linked properly. before everything was running fine and domainname was used, now there is a āā¦//ā
āSomethingā (probably the 7.1 update) just broke my RW Blog, first page would display fine but all Archive pages displayed without the Theme (Mirage) applied. I turned OFF - Consolidate CSS, Generate CBL, Minify CSS which has fixed it FTM.
Regretting the upgrade - switching from edit mode to preview mode takes ages, literally seconds. Itās always been more or less instant. Is there a way to migrate back to the previous version?
Can you email your project to support@realmacsoftware.com with the subject as āAttn: Danā, also include details of the issue and Iāll take a look.
7.0.4. Iāve restored back to this version because I was having problems with publishing too. Youāre right though - thereās not a great deal of difference in the refresh time. Could just be that 7.1 provides more info during refresh.
Publishing gives me problems since upgrading to 7.1. Before, RapidWeaver nicely detected which pages were changed and only uploaded those. From 7.1 it uploads everything! If I now add a page to my project, it uploads all my files to my server. Could you please check and rectify this?
