WP_Theme::get() │ public │ WP 3.4.0

Gets a raw, unformatted theme header.

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.

Method of the class: WP_Theme{}

No Hooks.

Return

String|Array|false. String or array (for Tags header) on success, false on failure.

Usage

$WP_Theme = new WP_Theme();
$WP_Theme->get( $header );

$header(string) (required)

Theme header. Name, Description, Author, Version, ThemeURI, AuthorURI, Status, Tags.
