get_template_part( string $slug, string $name = null )

Loads a template part into a template.


Description

Provides a simple mechanism for child themes to overload reusable sections of code in the theme.

Includes the named template part for a theme or if a name is specified then a specialised part will be included. If the theme contains no {slug}.php file then no template will be included.

The template is included using require, not require_once, so you may include the same template part multiple times.

For the $name parameter, if the file is called "{slug}-special.php" then specify "special".


Parameters

$slug

(string) (Required) The slug name for the generic template.

$name

(string) (Optional) The name of the specialised template.

Default value: null
