    Technically, get_template_part() was not meant to be used to get
    files in sub-directories.&nbsp; This was an oversight when the function
    was originally written.&nbsp; Fixing it in core would bring up backward
    compatibility concerns because theme authors decided to start using
    it incorrectly.<br>
    <br>
    A more appropriate function for getting templates files in
    sub-directories would be locate_template().<br>

      <div>get_template_part() should be used for *template* - i.e.
        *front-end* - files. It is perfectly acceptable (and correct) to
        use include()/require() for *functional* files to be included
        within functions.php. There may still be cases where
        get_template_part() is insufficient, in which case
        locate_template() should be used directly.</div>

                      files. He claims basically that it is not required
                      because it doesn&#8217;t support directories. So, he
                      wants to be an exception. I am saying
