get_template_directory_uri() WP 1.5.0
Retrieve current theme directory URI. Returns the URL to the root theme, not a child one. Doesn't contain a closing slash at the end.
You can also use get_bloginfo('template_url'); instead of this function.
If a child theme is used and you want to get its URL, use get_stylesheet_directory_uri().
If you want to get the path to the theme directory (folder), use get_template_directory().
If you want to get URL to the plugin, use plugin_dir_url().
Works based on: get_theme_root_uri(), get_template()
Basis of: get_parent_theme_file_uri(), get_theme_file_uri()
