# get the theme version

 * So essentially we use to do this:
 *     ```
       function get_current_theme_version(){
           $this->aisis_current_theme_version = get_theme_data(get_theme_root() . '/Aisis/style.css');
           return $this->aisis_current_theme_version['Version'];
       }
       ```
   
 * which if your theme style.css said the version was 1.0 you would get 1.0 back.
   Now because get_theme_data is deprecated and we are to use wp_get_theme_data 
   I thought I could do:
 *     ```
       function get_current_theme_version(){
           $this->aisis_current_theme_version = wp_get_theme(get_theme_root() . '/Aisis/style.css');
           return $this->aisis_current_theme_version['Version'];
       }
       ```
   
 * nope….Doesn’t work. I need to get the theme data and not have wordpress be like“
   thats wrong. your bad. no! don’t do that!” So whats the “new” way to get the 
   theme version?
