Get File Path to WordPress Theme

Saturday, November 7th, 2009 (No comments yet)

For some reason, the WordPress team removed the ability to simply get the file path to your theme folder. Here's how to get it quickly:

1
2
3
4

$url = get_bloginfo("template_url");
$temp = explode("wp-content/themes/",$url);
$active_theme_name = $temp[1];	// The second value will be the theme name
$theme_path =get_theme_root()."/".$active_theme_name;

When done, $theme_path will be the file path from the root of your current system to your active theme's folder.
