Classic themes are any site that don't have the Feast Plugin. For more details, see themes vs. the Feast Plugin.
The classic theme prices were dropped to $19, and the setup is no longer supported because of rapid and ongoing changes to requirements for:
- SEO
- accessibility
- pagespeed
- user experience
- WordPress
The only way stay on top of these changes is through continuous investments in research, development and updates that are delivered regularly via the Feast Plugin.

Upgrading to the Feast Plugin
The classic themes are fine for hobby sites, which aren't concerned about competing in Google for recipe terms.
Any site that is, or will be a business with plans to monetize and compete for traffic in search engines needs to upgrade to the Feast Plugin.
The Feast Plugin offers a completely rewritten setup that complies with modern best practices for SEO, accessibility, pagespeed, user experience - and is overall just easier to work with than the classic theme.
The Feast Plugin Setup guide covers how to convert a classic site to the Feast Plugin, or we offer white glove services to do this for you.
