get_stylesheet_directory_uri(): string
Retrieves stylesheet directory URI for the active theme.
Return
string URI to active theme's stylesheet directory.
More Information
- The returned URI does not contain a trailing slash.
- This function returns a properly-formed URI; in other words, it will be a web-address (starting with http:// or https:// for SSL). As such, it is most appropriately used for links, referencing additional stylesheets, or probably most commonly, images.
- In the event a child theme is being used, this function will return the child’s theme directory URI. Use get_template_directory_uri() to avoid being overridden by a child theme.
- If you want to include a local file in PHP, use get_stylesheet_directory() instead.
