The problem I am having is that the get_template_directory_uri is pointing to the parent theme like site/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/myGallery/gallery_functions_include.php

but I want it to point to my child theme which should be site/wp-content/themes/child-twentythirteen/myGallery/gallery_functions_include.php

what I am using is include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/myGallery/gallery_functions_include.php');

get_template_directory_uri() will always return the URI of the current parent theme.

To get the child theme URI instead, you need to use get_stylesheet_directory_uri().

You can find these in the documentation, along with a list of other useful functions for getting various theme directory locations.

---

If you prefer to use a constant, then TEMPLATEPATH is akin to calling get_template_directory() (i.e. the parent theme), and STYLESHEETPATH is akin to calling get_stylesheet_directory() (i.e. the child theme).

These constants are set by WordPress core in wp-includes/default-constants.php and basically look like this:

define('TEMPLATEPATH', get_template_directory());
...
define('STYLESHEETPATH', get_stylesheet_directory());

If there is no child theme, then both the 'template' and 'stylesheet' functions will return the parent theme location.

Note the difference between these functions and the functions ending in _uri - these will return the absolute server path (eg. /home/example/public_html/wp-content/yourtheme), whereas the _uri functions will return the public address (aka URL) - eg. http://example/wp-content/themes/yourtheme.

You should move your custom templates, those that are not controlled by the active theme, to a child folder.

Keep the theme separate from all customized files this way the theme can be updated without losing your custom work.

Your out-of-the-box theme lives here
------------------------------------
\\Site\wp-content\themes\some_theme

Your child theme lives here
---------------------------
\\Site\wp-content\themes\some_theme-child

Your custom styles and templates and all your includes (things like custom javascript, images that are not saved to WP, custom fonts, json data files, and any plugins that you might enqueue) should be moved to child folder OUTSIDE of theme.

\themes\some_theme
\themes\some_theme-child\ (all your custom php template files here)
\themes\some_theme-child\images
\themes\some_theme-child\includes 
\themes\some_theme-child\languages
\themes\some_theme-child\json 
\themes\some_theme-child\style

For your custom style pages (not the theme's overridden style.css) enqueue with wp_enqueue_style( 'some-css', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/style/some.css' , false, '0.0.1', 'all');

Use get_stylesheet_directory_uri() with your xhr calls, etc.

Replace

include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/path-to/my-file.php');

with

include dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/path-to/my-file.php';

this should work for most common issues
