Difference between stylesheet_directory and template_directory

Kind of – the template_directory is the directory of your parent theme. The stylesheet_directory is the directory containing the primary stylesheet in use (which, if you have a child template will be the in the child directory, otherwise it will be in the template directory).

See the Codex here:

‘stylesheet_url’ – Returns the primary CSS (usually style.css) file URL of the active theme.

‘template_url”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”template_directory’ – URL of the active theme’s directory … Within child themes, both get_bloginfo('template_url') and get_template() will return the parent theme directory.
