  Hi there,

  bi-visible.com is hosted by Register.it SpA
  Name Servers:
  ns2.amenworld.com
  ns1.amenworld.com

  You are posting to the wrong support forum. This is WordPress.COM support and that site is not on our servers.

  To be clear we do not provide support for local installs of WordPress.ORG software, or for WordPress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, linked to WordPress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites WordPress.COM account page.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  wordpress.org support
  The wordpress.ORG support forum is at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
  See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.

  I see that the download link for Shine On is broken. I’ll look into that for you.

  Thanks for your answers. I didn’t notice that I couldn’t install it on a self-hosted installation.

  @sebbp31200: Thank you for your patience here!

  The team confirmed that we’re unable to allow anyone to download Shine On due to our licensing agreement with the artist who made the work used in the theme’s header. Due to this, the team has now retired the Shine On theme.

  Shine On was a child theme, which means that it inherited its design from a parent theme. As an alternative to Shine On, you could consider downloading its parent theme, Twenty Thirteen:

  https://wordpress.com/theme/twentythirteen

  You’d be free to customise Twenty Thirteen’s header and colours to your liking. You could also consider setting up your own child theme based on it.

  Let me know if that information helps or if you have any further questions at all.

  Ok, I understand. Many thanks for all. I’ll close this subject (if I can :)).

  Hmmm. I was looking at moving a site to a self hosted installation but can’t download the existing theme? I was under the impression that all the themes on wordpress.com were freely licensed, I guess not!?

  @backtofrontco: Shine On was a special theme created for the holidays and included some artwork that we commissioned from a third-party. We’re not able to release that artwork under the GNU General Public License (GPL) which is why the theme has been retired and isn’t available on WordPress.org.

  Shine On was a child theme of Twenty Thirteen, so you could download that default theme and customise it to achieve a similar look to Shine On.
