Very sorry about this guys—it’s something we’re looking into.
In the mean time, please try this to get up and running:
Open RapidWeaver 6, click on RapidWeaver 6 in the menu bar, hold down option and you should see “Manage Addons…” change to “Reveal Addons Folder”.
Click “Reveal Addons Folder” — it will open a Finder window.
Select everything in that Folder and copy it.
Open RapidWeaver 7, click on RapidWeaver 7 in the menu bar, hold down option and you should see “Manage Addons…” change to “Reveal Addons Folder”.
Click “Reveal Addons Folder” and paste in the Finder window that gets opened.
If you’re asked whether or not you want to “Replace”, click “Replace”.
Restart RapidWeaver 7 — all of your addons and themes should now be available to you in RapidWeaver 7.
Let me know if this works for you.
To help us find the root cause here, please can you go into RW6 and reveal the addons folder again, click on View then Show Path Bar in the Finder and send me the full path that is displayed at the bottom of the Finder window. For example, here’s mine:
If you could please follow the same steps I mentioned above to get you up and running with RW7, we will continue investigating and get a fix out as soon as possible.
Click “Reveal Addons Folder” and paste in the Finder window that gets opened.
In RW7 this not opens nothing… Maybe in that reason what frOM says: “In RapidWeaver 7 the Addons folder doesn’t show. it seems it doesn’t exist.”
I copy that “rapidveawer” folder manually here:
~/Library/Containers/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver/Data/Library/Application Support/RapidWeaver
Now it works!
Right, this has all been very helpful and we now know what the issue is. There will be a new build of RW7 out with a fix soon.
In the mean time, once you have copied your RapidWeaver 6 addons, please open the Finder, click Go in the menu then Go To Folder… and paste the following:
If you see a folder there called “RapidWeaver”, open it. If not, create a folder named “RapidWeaver”. note: this is NOT the same as the “RapidWeaver 7” folder
Paste your RW6 addons into the “RapidWeaver” folder and restart RW7. You will now have all of your addons from RW6 in RW7.
This was fixed in the 7.0.1 release (you can double check you’re running the latest version by going to “RapidWeaver 7” then “Check for Updates…”). If you open RW7, click RapidWeaver 7 in the menu bar and then “Copy Addons from RapidWeaver 6” everything should now get transferred. If somehow that doesn’t work for you, the steps listed above should sort out the issue.
Cheers,

P.S.
@Gabrielle: I suspect you only saw “Manage Addons” because you weren’t holding down the option key on your keyboard.
@ElliotEKJ thanks for that, sorry I missed the bit where it said we had to hold down option, doh!
I’m a bit confused. I’m already running 7.0.1. If I go to reveal R7 addons folder I see a column with 2 Rapidweavers in it, one is just Rapidweaver and one is Rapidweaver 7 but it’s the one above Rapidweaver 7 that’s highlighted. Is that correct?
I just wanted to check to see if my themes ARE already in there and I’m just not looking in the right spot in the software itself to find the theme, before I start copying and pasting.
The path is gaby/library/containers/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver/Data/Library/application support/rapidweaver (NOT rapidweaver 7 which is what I would expect it to be).
