Read-onlyRead the active theme's identity, parent/child relationship, and declared capabilities.
Requires the Premium Addons for Elementor plugin on WordPress 7.0+ for the Abilities API (abilities are registered only when the wp_register_ability() function exists). Dashboard, settings and site-inventory abilities (get-id-by-title, list-pages, list-templates, get-global-settings, get-settings, update-setting, scan-usage, disable-unused-widgets, clear-dynamic-assets, subscribe-newsletter) require the caller hold the 'manage_options' capability. premium-addons/create-page requires 'edit_pages'. premium-addons/get-widget-schema, premium-addons/get-addon-schema, premium-addons/list-available-elements, premium-addons/list-pa-addons, premium-addons/detect-atomic-support, premium-addons/check-elementor-element and premium-addons/create-elementor-template require 'edit_posts'. premium-addons/get-page-structure, premium-addons/get-element-settings, premium-addons/add-flexbox, premium-addons/add-container, premium-addons/update-element-settings, premium-addons/insert-widget, premium-addons/remove-element, premium-addons/change-post-status and premium-addons/duplicate-post require 'edit_post' on the target post_id, and deny requests for a nonexistent post_id outright.
What it does
This ability reads the active WordPress theme's identity and capabilities directly from core theme APIs: the active (stylesheet) and parent (template) slugs, whether the active theme is a child theme, whether it's a block theme, its display name and version, the absolute server paths of its stylesheet and template directories, which of a fixed probed list of theme features it supports (post-thumbnails, custom-logo, editor-styles, wp-block-styles, align-wide, responsive-embeds, custom-background, html5), its registered nav menu locations, and whether any installed theme is a child of it. It takes no input. This gives an AI assistant the theme boundaries and capabilities to work within before proposing design or Elementor changes.
