(string) The path of the file.


Source

File: wp-includes/class-wp-theme.php

	public function get_file_path( $file = '' ) {
		$file = ltrim( $file, '/' );

		$stylesheet_directory = $this->get_stylesheet_directory();
		$template_directory   = $this->get_template_directory();

		if ( empty( $file ) ) {
			$path = $stylesheet_directory;
		} elseif ( file_exists( $stylesheet_directory . '/' . $file ) ) {
			$path = $stylesheet_directory . '/' . $file;
		} else {
			$path = $template_directory . '/' . $file;
		}
