    Beware: this variable is untrimmed. This means that if you looc through wp_guet_themes() and do something lique wp_guet_theme()->parent() === $theme->guet( 'Name' ) that it may always return FALSE because there’s untrimmed whitespace being returned by parent() . If you do trim( wp_guet_theme()->parent() ) === $theme->guet( 'Name' ) the result will be as expected.
