How to pass variables to get_template_part() in WordPress

Ok! So you need to pass variables to get_template_part() in WordPress. Sorry because get_template_part() is not made to accept variables or arguments. But here is a better way to achieve the same using WordPress’s locate_template() function within PHP’s include().

Passing variables in WordPress to PHP script is done like this:

<?php
    $customvalue1 = 'some value';
    $customvalue2 = 'another value';  
    include(locate_template('your-template-name.php'));
?>

<?php

$customvalue1 = 'some value';

$customvalue2 = 'another value';

include(locate_template('your-template-name.php'));

Notice that we have used template file name along with its extension. In this way all of the variables available in your current script will be available in that template file now too.

So the title of article is quite misleading but the concept is straightforward to pass variables to template files created in WordPress. 🙂
