I just upgraded form 6 to 7 and non of the themes or add-ons are working. I’ve contacted support and posted in the help section but have not gotten a response. I’ve looked through knowledge base and I see a post about moving from 5 to 7 but nothing about 6. Any suggestions on getting these to work in RW7? ---

Brad, Please would you say a little **more** about what you’re experiencing with ‘…not working…’. Can you see them in _RW_? Where are they located? Is it just third party Themes that are not working? ---

I’m trying to use a third party theme by elixer. I started building it in RW6 and attempted to open the source file in RW7 (right click, open with) but got an error message. Is there a way for me to physically move themes from 6 to 7? ---

Brad, You have to go through a [recognized process](http://kb.realmacsoftware.com/article/26-upgrading-sites-to-rapidweaver-7) to upgrade from 6 to 7. Suggest you give that a go and see whether you’re still running into whatever is wrong. Good luck! ---

I’ve done this a few times and all I get is the “Something went wrong” error page. I’ve filled out the questioner and sent it it. ---

Brad, I found it necessary to follow those steps to the letter. What happens when you open the _RW 7_ Project file by double-clicking on it and when you open it from _RW 7_ once you’ve launched it and are presented with the option to open (recent) Projects? Can you make other Projects in _RW 7_? Have you got _RW 7.0.2_? Where are your Addons and Themes, in which directory? ---

Mark, Thank you so much for your help! It looks like the steps you listed first made the difference. As far as I can tell eveything seems to be working just like it did in RW6. Your help is very much appreciated. ---
