Hi all,

I went ahead an updated to Big Sur and RW 8.7 and everything seemed to work OK. Now, I think I have found a bug since I can repeatedly crash RW when trying to access some pages. I have been using this file with no issues for the past 3 years with RW 8 and didn’t have a problem until the latest updates this week. I can access most of the pages within RW OK but some will immediately cause a crash upon clicking on them. Here is the [error log](https://www.dropbox.com/s/0gr26o2isaj6hzr/rw-crash-error-log.txt?dl=0) if that helps.

Right now I’m dead in the water until this bug is squashed.  
Thanks,  
Mike

Please try installing Stacks 4.1.2. It fixed a number of crashes similar to the one your crashlog describes.

I would recommend disabling plugins that you are not using currently. I notice from your crashlog that you’re using PlusKit and SiteMap. If they’re in active use, then that’s great – but if you’re not using them, perhaps disable them until your system is more stable.

Since there have been a lot of updates: RW 8.7, Stacks 4.1, Big Sur, etc. – it makes things easier to diagnose, when there are fewer moving parts. Removing unused plugins is a good place to start.

Open the RW Preferences  
Choose the last tab: Addons  
Disable things in the Plugins category that you’re not currently using.  
Then restart RapidWeaver

Thanks Isaiah! I’ll try to remove the plugins. Should I just find the files in the Finder and move the files out of it? Will that disable them?

I removed those plugins and updated Stacks to 4.1.2. It seems to have fixed the problem.
