Content Studio / Troubleshooting

Components Do Not Appear

Diagnose missing Content Studio components in RapidWeaver Elements.

What This Usually Means

The intended package may not be installed or loaded, or Elements may not yet have refreshed its component library. An enabled Preferences entry alone does not confirm successful loading.

Check in Order

1. Confirm that the intended Content Studio component package is installed.

2. Confirm that you are using RapidWeaver Elements 3.

3. Open the CMS group in the component library.

4. Look for CS Admin, CS Post List, CS Event List, and CS Smart Image.

5. Quit Elements normally, wait until it has fully exited, then reopen it and check the CMS group again. A restart can restore discovery after switching packages, but it is not a guaranteed fix.

6. Reopen the intended project and check the CMS group again.

If the Components Are Still Missing

Confirm the package version with the site developer or support contact. Do not move or rename internal package files as a troubleshooting step.
