Overview

How to get the path to the current the Wordpress theme.

Function get_template_directory_uri()

Get full URL with get_bloginfo()

Calling get_bloginfo() with the $show argument set to ''template_url'' returns the path as full URL.


Outputs:

http://example.com/wp-content/themes/my_theme

You can also use template_directory, but template_url seems more semantically correct. Originally template_directory displayed a relative path, which seems like a good idea, but they changed that for some reason.
