Display the current theme’s version
```
$my_theme = wp_get_theme();
printf( "%1$s is version %2$s",
	$my_theme->get( 'Name' ),
	$my_theme->get( 'Version' )
);
```
Feedback
- This doesn’t work. You need to $my_theme = wp_get_theme(); echo “; print_r($my_theme); echo “; To output the name and version, you need to do: echo $my_theme[‘Name’]; echo $my_theme[‘Version’]; — By ashkanahmadi — 1 year ago
