 * I’m using the function get_template_part inside folder but this fails.
 * For example:
 * -MainDirectory
    -DirectoryOne -FileOne.php -DirectoryTwo -FileTwo.php
 *  I’m trying to call from FileOne.php to FileTwo.php as follows:
 * <?php
    get_template_part(‘DirectoryTwo/FileTwo’); ?>
 * <?php
    get_template_part(‘../DirectoryTwo/FileTwo’); ?>
 * but don’t work. Any help ?.

 * I think you have to use the file names of the templates you want to get the part
   from, as well as specify the part.
 * should look something like
 *     ```
       <?php get_template_part( 'directory-two' ); (file-two.php) ?>
       ```
   
 * but of course “Directory2” has to exist as a template part in FileTwo.php. And
   of course, should use lowercase and dashes for the part and template name.

 * get_template_part accepts 2 parameters – the general template name, and the specific
   template name.
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_part](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_part)
 * That I know of, you can’t specify a directory
 * get_template_part( ‘this’, ‘that’ );
 * would look for a file named this-that.php first, and then this.php second
 * I am not certain if the get_template_part function looks into different directories
   for the requested file…
 * so for your usage, get_template_part( ‘FileTwo’ ); would call the file, but you’d
   have to test if it automatically looks into directories. You may need to use 
   an include here

 * ah, thanks. I was confused about that directory title, assumed it was just a 
   name for a specific template part.
    Using get_template_part to get a different
   directory is something I’ve never coincided. I’ll yield to the experts on that
   one.

 * thank’s for response!. When the file is out of a directory you can call to file
   inside of directory.
 * Example:
 * -RootDirectory(root of your template).
    FileOne.php
 * –SubDirectory
    FileTwo.php
 * Code of FileOne.php
 * <?php
    get_template_part(‘SubDirectory/FileTwo’); ?>
 * i used this code and it works.
