What does it mean when a theme is retired?

When a theme is retired, it means we're no longer actively selling or developing that specific theme. If you're currently using a theme that has been retired, it will not be removed from your account, and your site will continue to function as it does now!

You'll still be able to download and use your retired theme, and we'll continue to provide support and updates for three years from the retirement date. After that period, the theme won't receive new updates or active support, but in most cases it will continue to work just fine on your site.

We retire themes to make room for newer designs and platforms, allowing us to focus on themes built with modern WordPress tools and features.
