Hey Justin!
Thank you for sharing those links they were a useful read!
I'm going to be focusing on my wordpress knowledge over the next few weeks so if you have any other sites/links you think I will find useful it would be greatly appreciated if you could send them my way!
Hey Logan; it's Justin here!
I think you should look at using
get_theme_file_uri()
andget_theme_file_path()
instead ofget_template_directory()
.We use those two functions here at HY instead of
get_template_directory_uri()
and `get_template_directory() as they will check the current theme for a file; then check the parent theme.Some more advanced sites may have themes that inherit from other themes; so we use the first two functions to make sure it functions how we want.
