Using Mac Sierra 10.13.3. I have to manually enter my site/ftp password after reopening Rapid Weaver … every time. My categories disappeared from both my sites. Using ‘bravo’ and ‘possible’. I found where to add or subtract categories; after much digging, they are still there, just not on the site after publishing. I only upgraded to ver 7.5.5, because I upgraded to Sierra, and I noticed I couldn’t add links in ver 4.4.2. … figured I’d update after all these years. Is there a version in-between 4 and 7 that works in Sierra that I could use? ---

Hi Don, Followed the steps after the fact; thanks to your suggestion. I uninstalled ver 7, then followed the steps as outlined in the link you provided. Same issues. Categories are missing. I have to enter the ftp/site password. I also noticed my gmail is acting wonky … have to enter the password every time I open the mail app. The problems are bigger than the benefit of the upgrade. Can’t go back to version 4.4.2 … no longer compatible. ---

I update a site in RW and go to publish and it says "publishing 0 files out of 0 files. I hit “cancel Publishing” and it freezes and I have to force quite RW. Then reopen the website and before doing anything, I have to go to Publishing settings and put in my password. I never had to do this before and can’t figure out why I have to do it now. It’s quite a pain. I seem to remember there being a choi… ---

Okay … disregard the gmail issue. It’s an apple problem. Still no categories, still no saved site/ftp password though. ---

- Update\* In fixing the gmail issue, I was able to solve the password matter. Keychain. Now I have to figure out how to get the categories to work. ---
