WP_Theme::get() WordPress Method

The WP_Theme::get() method allows you to get information about a theme. This includes its name, author, version, and more. You can use this method to get a theme's information before activating it, or to get information about the current theme.

WP_Theme::get( string $header ) #

Gets a raw, unformatted theme header.


Description

The header is sanitized, but is not translated, and is not marked up for display. To get a theme header for display, use the display() method.

Use the get_template() method, not the ‘Template’ header, for finding the template. The ‘Template’ header is only good for what was written in the style.css, while get_template() takes into account where WordPress actually located the theme and whether it is actually valid.
