As soon as the Realmac website was updated I downloaded the software so I could get a hands on review of version 4. RapidWeaver definitely gives a whole new meaning to "drag and drop," as you can create whole websites by dragging and dropping files onto RapidWeaver. You can change your email address or password at any time in your Paddle Locker too.Realmac Software has recently released the fourth major version of their RapidWeaver website creation software. The download links always point to the latest version of the theme. Once you're logged into your secure locker, you can easily re-download themes again. ![]() Paddle is the payment and shopping cart provider used on the ThemeFlood and Stacks4Stacks websites. Updating themes using your Paddle LockerIf you purchased themes on or after 1st January 2015, you can access your Paddle Locker. Some customers actually prefer this, because it means they can freely work with making heavy modifications to a theme, safe in the knowledge that future updates will not revert or undo their changes. Going forward, the only way to update the theme would be to open the theme contents in Finder and physically copy any changed files across into the new version. What if I have duplicated / renamed a theme?Once you duplicate and rename a theme in RapidWeaver, it is given a special flag to exclude it from automatic update checking. If you are considering updating from much older versions of addons, we kindly request that you repurchase the addons you require. Getting theme updatesAnything you have purchased on or after 1st January 2015 is available for you to download from your Paddle account here: It will prevent the problem of many dozens of themes showing as needing updates, when you might already have the latest theme version already installed at the top of the list.

How themes and theme naming is handledAs of 10th February 2017, updated themes are now installed in RapidWeaver with generic names (like Flood.rwtheme, Lake.rwtheme and Wilderness.rwtheme). You should already have Time Machine enabled on your computer and you can learn more about theme backups in the theme management article. Please always be certain that your RapidWeaver project files and addons are all backed-up before commencing any updates. ![]() Theme updates are not sent out automatically by email, because previously it was found many of the emails went missing in junk or spam mail folders. You can tell if an update is available, by comparing the number shown next to the theme name in the RapidWeaver Addons Manager, versus the version number shown on the theme product page, on the ThemeFlood website. Theme updates are periodically released to introduce new features and maintain compatibility with the latest RapidWeaver addons and web browsers. ![]()
