Stack not showing up in the Stack’s Library

All of our stacks are compatible in RapidWeaver 5+ and Stacks 2+. If you have tried to install a stack (receiving the “Successfully installed” message) and does not show up in the Stack’s library, even when searching for it by name, this guide should help you figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.

1. Is the stack set to open with RaidWeaver?

For some reason, sometimes the stack can be set to open with the wrong application. To check if this is the issue, right click (or Ctrl + click) the downloaded stack file and select “Get Info” from the menu.

In the field labeled “Open with:”, verify that it is set to open with the your latest version of RapidWeaver

After this, double click the stack to install it and open RapidWeaver to see if it has installed correctly. If that was not the issue, you will want to try manually installing the stack.

2. Manually Installing the stack.

To install the stack manually open your latest version of RapidWeaver. Inside of any Stacks page select a 3rd party stack in the Stack’s library window and click the gear icon. Then select “Show in Finder” which will open a new window that contains all your 3rd party stacks.

Drag the stack you want to install into the window you opened and restart RapidWeaver. After you reopen RapidWeaver you should see the stack in your library.

Live Search 2

Posted On 30 Apr 2025

Live Search 2 has been updated with new features, improvements, and important bug fixes – all designed to make your site’s search experience even faster and more precise.

This update is free and automatic for all existing customers.

Don’t own it yet? Now’s the perfect time to jump in — Live Search 2 is 30% off for a limited time! No code needed — your discount is automatically applied at checkout.

New Features:

Added support for exact match searches using quotation marks around parts of a search phrase.
New option to show a “Clear Input” button.
Added Replace Character feature.
Now supports two separately defined search bars on the same page.
New option to adjust z-index.

Improvements:

Index file generation now detects and ignores duplicate content, such as text found in every page header and footer.
If any pages are missing from the index file, they will now still be searched dynamically.
Index file data is now compressed to reduce file size.
Pages at https://website/folder/index.(php|html) and https://website/folder/ are now treated as duplicates and will not be indexed separately.
Search results container height now only stays fixed during pagination — it will shrink dynamically for new searches.
When searching custom sitemaps, the default sitemap will now be ignored.
The popout search results container will now automatically hide when the search input is empty.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed an issue that prevented custom text/language settings from applying correctly.
Fixed a bug where result descriptions could fail to display a local section title.
Fixed a bug that could trigger an error if suggestions were enabled but the stack was not published to the page.
Prevents form submission before the page is fully loaded, avoiding unwanted page refreshes on slow-loading pages. A loading indicator is shown until the page is ready.
