Hello Weavers, Start your update engines, RapidWeaver Classic 9.6.3 is now [available to download](https://dl.devant.io/v1/3c53887f-427a-4af7-9144-ee16178c62f4/RapidWeaver.zip) 🥳 This update continues our work on improving compatibility of the publishing engine. If publishing didn’t work for you previously in Classic, please give this new build a try! ## What’s New in Classic 9.6.3? - Update curl 8.13.0 → 8.15.0 - Update OpenSSL 3.5.0 → 3.5.2 - Various other under-the-hood publishing tweaks and improvements! ## A Look Toward the Future We know many of you have built your workflow around RapidWeaver Classic, and we want to reassure you that we’re continuing to maintain and update it with important improvements, fixes, and optimisations to keep things running smoothly. That said, as we pour more energy into building **[RapidWeaver Elements](https://elementsapp.io/)**, we believe now’s a great time to start exploring what’s next. **[Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) is the future of RapidWeaver**; it’s a brand-new, modern website builder designed from the ground up. It’s faster, more flexible, and gives you complete control with a fully visual editing experience. You can [buy your copy at elementsapp.io](https://elementsapp.io) 🎉 We’ll continue to support both Classic and [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/), so you can move at your own pace. **Happy Weaving! 🚀** _P.S. If you’re thinking of making the move from Classic, watch the video below to learn some of the key differences and improvements that you’ll find in Elements._ [![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/5/5587723493328a59c50a838e618fa8cffb6e5794.jpeg "Moving from Stacks to Elements") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28KsND9e6EQ) ---

No, you’ll need to purchase an upgrade to RapidWeaver Classic 9.x or better yet, make the jump to Elements 🙂 ---

Publishing with Elements?? I built a site with RW8, then upgraded to classic, but classic made the site look dark, so I bought Elements. The publishing window will not work with the info I entered (attached). The company that hosts my domain gave me the following info: server: [ftp.startlogic.com](http://ftp.startlogic.com) path: /public\_html domain name: [perihelionproductions.org](http://perihelionproductions.org) subdirectory: /home/periheli/public\_html URL [perihelionproductions.org](http://perihelionproductions.org) ISP [st82.startlogic.com](http://st82.startlogic.com) Can anyone detect what I did wrong? > **(attachments)** > > ![publishing window.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/6/f/6feb4171c31713c93cb2980b598ccb243eb0a4c9.png)
