Hi Ashley, Which version of CMS are you running? I don't need to go through all this with 6.5.
That is one of the reason why that I set up a dummy project that I copy for all my new project. That way I don't need to create all the folders in the new project. Have you updated all the content classes to the connected project from the master project ? That might help! Let me know!
