Custom theme build

  • I am using underscores and have stripped it down to build out only what I need. On a lot of themes I see most pages open with this:

    div id=”primary” class=”content-area”>
    <main id=”main” class=”site-main” role=”main”>

    Are these necessary to keep? I already have my site built out in html/css using my own containers etc…. is WordPress dependent on these? I deleted them and just open my main element in header and close it in footer… then use my containers in my pages as needed.

    I appreciate any help. Thanks!

  • No, WordPress is not dependent on what the theme outputs, since the theme is the last stage before the user sees it. The underscores theme is just a starter base to help theme authors get going.
