 * What I mean is that the I’m working on is not in the [theme directory](https://wordpress.org/themes/)
   so there is no repository to check.
 * I checked the link you gave me and my theme header or style.css metadata is correct
   and in full.

 * Sorry I got my clarification wrong.
    I wasn’t trying to remove a class from a
   container div, but just remove the existence of the container div while keeping
   its contents.
 * So
 *     ```
       <div id="menu1" class="container">
       <ul>
       <li>item 1</li>
       <li>item 2</li>
       </ul>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Would change to
 *     ```
       <ul>
       <li>item 1</li>
       <li>item 2</li>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * And this would have to apply for menus which appear in a “widget area” which 
   can be defined on the customise page of the wordpress dashboard.

 * > Simply change the styles applied to a particular widget, if you want to.
 * So to confirm you understand my question, if a menu widget being placed in a 
   widget area prints HTML like
 *     ```
       <div id="menu1" class="container">
       <ul>
       <li>item 1</li>
       <li>item 2</li>
       </ul>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * And I want the output to not have a class applied to the container so it’s more
   like
 *     ```
       <div id="menu1">
       <ul>
       <li>item 1</li>
       <li>item 2</li>
       </ul>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * `
 * That it’s impossible to change this using a PHP function?
 * I would like to avoid using jquery for this, because jquery will be executed 
   after the page has loaded, and this will affect the user experience to have the
   appearance of `<div>` objects spontaneously change after the web page has finished
   loading in the web browser.

 * You don’t understand my question.
 * Note the 2 lines I commented out.
 *     ```
               //'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget-container %2$s">',
               //'after_widget' => '</li>',
       ```
   
 * These come from the wp_nav_menu() function, not the register_sidebar() function.
 * >  since your code is concerning widget areas, but you are asking about menu 
   > widgets.
 * It appears that you have not considered that when making wordpress themes, that
   there is a distinction between using wp_nav_menu() to print a menu onto a page
   in a template php file, and instead printing a menu by having it appear in a 
   widget area. However the customisation parameters available for wp_nav_menu()
   which is listed in wordpress documentation, I need some of them available for
   the latter.
 * The menu appears in the widget AREA. Using the customise themes feature in wordpress,
   you can choose what menus appear in each widget AREA.
 * I already know how to add a menu to a widget area. I am asking how to remove 
   the container div from the HTML output that would be executed on the web page
   from such a thing.

 * But then I would lose the styling of the theme if I did that. The theme would
   look worse and be not usable. I am editing themes made years ago to improve them.
   The themes I’m editing are using
    foreach ($comments as $comment)
 * Does anyone know how to do threaded comments when the comments are being printed
   with a foreach loop?
 * If I have an example as a starting point, I should then know how to add threaded
   comments to existing themes which use foreach to print comments.

 * I’ve seen 2 tutorials online that use wp_list_comments() and they are not helpful
   for me because the themes I’m editing don’t use that.
