Developing New Theme – No Templete Needed?

  • The article for Theme Development found here, https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Theme_Development states

    The simplest Theme includes only a style.css file, plus images, if any. To create such a Theme, you must specify a set of templates to inherit for use with the Theme by editing the Template: line in the style.css header comments.

    When placing only style.css into my new theme folder, using default as the template parent, returns a broken theme error

    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

    Is the article not current or am I missing something?

    Thanks.

  • That kind of setup doesn’t work anymore in WP 2.x.
    On the contrary: even if you have your own template files in the theme folder AND you leave that line – it will break your theme.

    Hopefully, someone will change the article soon to reflect those changes and save others from confusion.

    Thanks for responding.
