get_template_directory()
Retrieves template directory path for the active theme.
Contents
Return
(string) Path to active theme's template directory.
More Information
Usage
echo get_template_directory();
Returns an absolute server path (eg: /home/user/public_html/wp-content/themes/my_theme), not a URI.
In the case a child theme is being used, the absolute path to the parent theme directory will be returned. Use get_stylesheet_directory() to get the absolute path to the child theme directory.
To retrieve the URI of the stylesheet directory use get_stylesheet_directory_uri() instead.
Notes
- Uses: get_theme_root() to retrieve the absolute path to the themes directory, get_template() to retrieve the directory name of the current theme.
- Does not output a trailing slash
