Happy New Year all!
I’m a inexperienced user trying to update all my system to maintain my old website.
on a Mac Pro (2010) running OSX 10.14.6 I just updated to RW Classic & bought the bundle from Yourhead.
I’ve tried everything I know to get Stacks 5 to install. Yourhead support havent replied…
I get the warning that "Rapidweaver failed to load some plugins,:Stacks couldn’t obtain plugin principle class. As I understand this is for Silicon Macs needing to enable Rosetta, I’m of course on Intel.
Can anyone help me please?
You should get a refund on the bundle, apart from Stacks, none of those plugins are being updated and supported anymore. It’s a bit naughty they are still being sold tbh — Both Pluskit and Blocks will crash RapidWeaver and make it unstable.
Yes, Rosetta is only required for Apple Silicon Macs running non-native plugins like PlusKit.
I’m wondering if Stacks 5 even supports 10.14.6 — Can you try downloading Stacks 4 and see if that runs for you? Here’s a download link for Stacks 4.3.0.
As far as we can tell YourHead/Isaiah ignore support requests for months at a time. It’s been like this for many, many years, and it’s infuriating. Sorry we can’t be of more help.
Thankyou Dan for your enlightening (but disappointing) reply!
Yes Stacks 4 installs easily - but of course I dont have a serial number for it ;-/
I will write to Yourhead but it sounds like a long shot to get any joy from them…
Can you please tell me what I require to build a simple single user website to showcase my audio and video work?
It all seems a bit of a minefield out there that I can waste a lot of money on.
BTW on their website Stacks 5 requires minimum OS 10.12 which is why I purchased it.
I did a quick search on the YourHead Discord support channel and found some information. It looks like Stacks 5 now requires macOS 10.15 or newer.
I’d recommend asking @Isaiah for a refund and seeing if you can purchase Stacks v4.
Sorry this has not been straight forward for you, let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help.
Thankyou for your advice, Im very grateful. The only other help you might be able to give me is advice on which addons RW does require for an audio/photo personal website…
Hi! I am running RW 8 on an older MBP for a couple of sites. I upgraded to Stacks 5 (5.3) and it would not load. On the archives page I DL 5.0 and it runs like clock-work!
Edited to add that the OS is Mojave (10.14.6)
Edited again to add that even PlusKit works (save the way Google Sheets has changed their system so I cannot import).
Many thanks for this tip!
I just installed 5.1.2 and it works…so far
Merci Bien!
Glad you got it working, just remember not to upgrade to newer version of Stacks!
