This is the Step 7 of Tutorial How to Convert Bootstrap 4 Templates to Wordpress Themes . In this step we will remove the code from underscores theme which is not required for our Template Conversion.
# Cleanup Header.php
As the first step, open your header.php
file and completely remove the following code from this page.
<a class="skip-link screen-reader-text" href="#content"><?php esc_html_e( 'Skip to content', 'freelancer-b2w' ); ?></a>
<header id="masthead" class="site-header">
<div class="site-branding">
<?php
the_custom_logo();
if ( is_front_page() && is_home() ) : ?>
<h1 class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></h1>
<?php else : ?>
<p class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></p>
<?php
endif;
$description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
if ( $description || is_customize_preview() ) : ?>
<p class="site-description"><?php echo $description; /* WPCS: xss ok. */ ?></p>
<?php
endif; ?>
</div><!-- .site-branding -->
<nav id="site-navigation" class="main-navigation">
<button class="menu-toggle" aria-controls="primary-menu" aria-expanded="false"><?php esc_html_e( 'Primary Menu', 'freelancer-b2w' ); ?></button>
<?php
wp_nav_menu( array(
'theme_location' => 'menu-1',
'menu_id' => 'primary-menu',
) );
?>
</nav><!-- #site-navigation -->
</header><!-- #masthead -->
<div id="content" class="site-content">
As a boilerplate code, Underscores has provided with a default header and a content div to put the content. But since we are converting a already existing template into a wordpress theme. We don't need this code, and hence it is comfortable to remove it.
# Cleanup Home Page Template file page-home.php
We created a new file page-home.php
by copying page.php . page.php is a default page file provided by underscores to create new template pages.
Open page.php
file in your editor and completely remove the div with id primary
.
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<main id="main" class="site-main">
<?php
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'page' );
// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template.
if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) :
comments_template();
endif;
endwhile; // End of the loop.
?>
</main><!-- #main -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
Also remove the function to fetch the sidebar on the page, Since we our single page template don't have a sidebar.
get_sidebar();
# Cleanup footer.php
Open footer.php
file in your editor and completely remove the end of content div, footer section and the end of page div
</div><!-- #content -->
<footer id="colophon" class="site-footer">
<div class="site-info">
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'https://wordpress.org/', 'freelancer-b2w' ) ); ?>"><?php
/* translators: %s: CMS name, i.e. WordPress. */
printf( esc_html__( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'freelancer-b2w' ), 'WordPress' );
?></a>
<span class="sep"> | </span>
<?php
/* translators: 1: Theme name, 2: Theme author. */
printf( esc_html__( 'Theme: %1$s by %2$s.', 'freelancer-b2w' ), 'freelancer-b2w', '<a href="http://underscores.me/">Underscores.me</a>' );
?>
</div><!-- .site-info -->
</footer><!-- #colophon -->
</div><!-- #page -->
