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 full-featured parent theme. This tool is ideal for theme developers, freelancers, and agencies that need a clean starting point for client projects.

  • Lean HTML5 templates: Includes a just-right set of modern, well-commented templates that cover common page types, including a helpful 404 template.
  • Smart CSS organization: Starter CSS in style.css is structured to help you quickly implement your design, with two sample layouts in layouts/ for sidebar placement.
  • Custom template tags: Functions in inc/template-tags.php keep your templates clean by preventing code duplication for common tasks like post navigation and entry meta.
  • Responsive navigation: A script at js/navigation.js turns your menu into a toggled dropdown on small screens, ready for your own CSS styling.
  • Optional features: Includes an optional sample custom header implementation in inc/custom-header.php and small tweaks in inc/template-functions.php to improve theming. A WooCommerce boilerplate is also available.

Underscores is licensed under GPLv2 or later and is maintained by a community of contributors. Use it to create your next WordPress theme without starting from zero.
