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

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

$args

(array) (Optional) Additional arguments passed to the template.

Default value: array()

Return

(void|false) Void on success, false if the template does not exist.

More Information

Usage 

get_template_part( $slug );

get_template_part( $slug, $name );

Note: get_template_part() fails silently
