moving to self-hosted with a "retired" theme
-
I’ve been working on building a site with the Stay theme, to replace one which i’ve had on http://www.urlaubsuedfrankreich.com for many years. It appears that Stay has been retired, and I am wondering how I can move the site or find the files for this theme?
If this is not possible, any suggestions as to what replaced stay? In particular the “rooms” part of it would have be part of a new theme.
Your help is very much appreciated!!

WordPress.com themes cannot be downloaded. I see that Stay has been retired on the WordPress.com theme showcase and it looks like Stay was a WordPress.com-only theme. It’s not available on the theme showcase for self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) sites.
To confirm though, I am adding a “modlook” tag for the attention of the WordPress.com staff. They can confirm if this theme is available for self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) sites, and if they have suggestions for closest alternative theme.

WordPress.com themes cannot be downloaded.
To clarify: All free WordPress.com themes can be downloaded. For themes that are not retired, there is a link at the bottom of each showcase page. Other themes are available at WordPress.org.
For retired themes that are not available in the WordPress.org themes repository, you can use an SVN tool to download it from our public theme repo here: https://wpcom-themes.svn.automattic.com/
You can grab stay here using an SVN tool:
https://wpcom-themes.svn.automattic.com/stay/
If this is not possible, any suggestions as to what replaced stay? In particular the “rooms” part of it would have be part of a new theme.
We haven’t built any other themes using the Rooms custom post type, so I don’t have any other WordPress.com themes to suggest, but since it sounds like you’re moving to a self-hosted site, you might want to use a CPT plugin. If you need further help with your self-hosted site, feel free to post in the WordPress.org forums:
