Just updated to latest RapidWeaver 7.5.6 and I can no longer export (or publish) my website.  
Not sure if am supposed to ask this in Forum, as did not see any support e-mail.

When I do Publish (or export to a directory) the app does all it could then gets stuck on:  
“Generating checksums”  
Will sit there forever, and if I hit “Cancel” when I try to export again it says:  
Export in Progress: An export is already in progress. Please wait until it is complete.

I also tried the RapidWeaver 8 trial, and the same exact thing happens. (As I plan to upgrade as I do each year, but want to fix this first).

Tried moving folder to another directory on the HD as well.

Is there a log somewhere that RapidWeaver creates?

Thanks.

Here’s RealMac’s [article](https://help.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver-troubleshooting/how-to-fix-ftp-publishing-issues) on fixing publishing problems. Maybe it will help you?

Sometimes quitting RW or restarting your Mac helps. If you have to force-quit, re-launch RW, quit it in a normal way and re-launch again—before you try publishing again.

Are you able to publish to a local folder? Can you publish individual pages with single page publish?

At the bottom of the [support page](https://www.realmacsoftware.com/support/) there’s a section **Contact Realmac Software** you can send an email.  
That being said, this forum can usually get you an answer for most questions.

Have you tried with another project?

I tried many times, restarted my machine as well. Even ended up buying RW8 just in case.

I can not export the site (get the same issue). I can publish individual pages fine thou. Something at the end messes up.

When you look at the upload log all you get is this:

Yes, I tried in other projects and they work fine. For some reason just one project is failing (which used to work).

The only thing the support log (on upload says) is:  
2018-10-07 00:37:07.755 RapidWeaver 8[74646:1737798] ==============================================================

Not sure what file it has an issue with.

Thanks for the link, did not find that before. I posted more information in the forum, I guess if no solution in the next few days will contact support.

How many pages is your site? Can you try each page one at a time until one fails? (single page publishing) - If you are designed right and have sub-pages to your main nav pages single page publish does allow for publishing a page and all it’s child pages (sub-pages). Do what you can to find the single offending page.
