Underscores is a starter theme designed for developers who want to build custom WordPress themes from scratch. It provides a minimal, unopinionated foundation that you can modify and extend without the bloat of a parent theme. Ideal for theme developers and agencies that need full control over their codebase.

  • Lean HTML5 templates: Includes a just-right set of modern, well-commented templates that follow current best practices. No unnecessary markup to strip out.
  • Organized starter CSS: The style.css file is structured to help you quickly implement your design. Two sample layouts in the layouts/ folder give you a sidebar on either side of your content.
  • Custom template tags: The inc/template-tags.php file keeps your templates clean by preventing code duplication. Common functions like post navigation and entry meta are pre-built.
  • Responsive navigation: A script in js/navigation.js turns your menu into a toggled dropdown on small screens, ready for your own CSS styling.
  • Optional custom header: An example custom header implementation in inc/custom-header.php lets you add header flexibility without starting from zero.

Underscores is licensed under GPLv2 or later. Use it to build something that fits your exact requirements.
