After reinstalling my Mac and switched from Classic 8 to 9, I realized that I had lost the “Exposition” theme by Brandon Lee Design. Unfortunately, I didn’t back up the download anywhere. I purchased the theme in 2022, but the download link is now dead (404). The designer’s website still exists, however the purchase options there also lead to a 404 error. Brandon Lee unfortunately does not respond to emails. I have to assume that he is no longer active. Where can I obtain the theme now? Do you have any ideas or possibilities? Of course, I would be willing to buy it a second time, but there seems to be no way to do so. Thank you very much for your help. ---

Ah, I happen to have a copy of this theme, here you go… 👉 [Download Exposition Theme for Classic](https://free.smmall.cloud/MTc2OTA4NTEzNDM0NA) ---

Thank you! Thank you so much. You really helped me—I was almost losing hope. You made my day 🙂 ---

You’re welcome! You might want to consider moving to Elements, as that’s the future of RapidWeaver. Do let me know if you need any help or have any questions regarding the move 🙂 ---

I was somewhat hesitant about Elements and wasn’t sure what to make of it. Since I was coming from Classic 8, which became unstable under Tahoe, I initially decided to go with version 9. Can an existing website be migrated to Elements, and is this migration comparable to a standard Classic major-version upgrade (for example, 8 → 9)? ---

To be honest, I haven’t tried the new import function from old rapid Weaver sites… That being said: It’s probably easier to start a new site in elements. Many here will help you get started and give you tips… There’s a video Dan did about converting a rapid Weavers site into elements. It’s a half hour show in worth watching… As soon as I saw how easy it was, I made the move to elements. ---

Hi, no, this is not the case. You can re-use some of the resources, but in general it is better to built from scratch (and it is actually enjoyable to do so). In case you want a 3rd party to convert your classic site into element, we do offer this as a paid service at [https://classic-to-elements.com](https://classic-to-elements.com) but perhaps you want to try this by yourself first.
