From some other site i found that both are doing same. can anyone help for knowing the difference? if both are same please let me know which is best to use

thank you

Answer 1

There is absolutely no difference between the two (prior to WP 2.6, template_directory generated a local path, but now, it's the same). get_bloginfo( 'template_directory' ) and get_bloginfo( 'template_url' ) simply return get_template_directory_uri() .

See this post for more information.

Answer 2

使用get_template_directory_uri（）使脚本具有正确的路径入队bloginfo（）用于显示有关您网站的信息，例如bloginfo（'url'），bloginfo（'name'），bloginfo（'description'），bloginfo（'template_url' ）

Answer 3

Another difference you can see that get_bloginfo( 'template_directory' ) works without echo so you couldn't take it into variable if need whereas you can get_template_directory_uri() into variable. So according to your task differentiation, you can chose one of them.
