OK, I just did a complete wipe and reinstall of my OS. After reinstalling RW and restoring my project file I am getting error messages saying my theme and other plugins are missing. Can anyone tell me where on the computer those files are stored so I can pull them from my backup drive?

After completely reinstalling Mac OS and reinstalling RW and then rebuilding my site, I am happy to say that everything is working properly. It seems that I was having multiple problems with my Mac system and my RW code.

Thanks everyone for your help and I hope you are all staying safe and healthy out there.
