Description

Retrieves the name of the highest priority template file that exists.

Searches in the STYLESHEETPATH before TEMPLATEPATH and wp-includes/theme-compat so that themes which inherit from a parent theme can just overload one file.

Usage

$string = locate_template( $template_names, $load, $load_once, $args );

Parameters

$template_names

( string|array ) required – Template file(s) to search for, in order.

$load

( bool ) optional – If true the template file will be loaded if it is found.

$load_once

( bool ) optional default: 1 – Whether to require_once or require. Has no effect if $load is false. Default true.

$args

( array ) optional – Optional. Additional arguments passed to the template. Default empty array.

Returns

string The template filename if one is located.
