I just upgraded to RW 8 (from v6). It complained that it couldn’t find the Stacks plugin. I currently have Stacks v2.6.8. I moved Stacks from the location RW 6 used into the location that RW 8 uses. But when I run RW 8, it now says Stacks couldn’t be read. Is Stacks 2 not compatible with RW 8? I noticed that Stacks 3 says its compatible with RW 6 & 7, but no mention of 8. It makes me wonder what other stacks are no longer compatible. Any insights appreciated.

RapidWeaver 8 requires Stacks 3.latest and the rest of your addons will depend on the developers. You’ll need to check with them as you update your sites.

More specifically Stacks v3.6.1 is required when using RapidWeaver 8. And since RapidWeaver 8 is brand new I would strongly recommend running the very latest version of Stacks too. At the time of this writing that’s Stacks v3.6.2 – we updated just a few days ago to add the ability to drag images straight from the new Resources window. 😃

We **always** work closely with Realmac Software and do **months** of beta testing and updates so that Stacks and RapidWeaver work smoothly together right from the very first day.
