get_stylesheet_directory() WordPress Function
The get_stylesheet_directory() function is used to retrieve the URL of the current theme's directory.
get_stylesheet_directory() #
Retrieves stylesheet directory path for the active theme.
Return
(string) Path to active theme's stylesheet directory.
More Information
- The returning path does not contain a trailing slash.
- An example output of get_stylesheet_directory() is
/home/user/public_html/wp-content/themes/my_theme - In the event a child theme is being used, that is the directory that will be returned, not the parent theme directory (use get_template_directory() instead if you want the parent directory).
- To retrieve the URI of the stylesheet directory use get_stylesheet_directory_uri()
- To retrieve the path of a parent theme, use get_template_directory()
