Alright, I’m pretty sure this has been done before.
Scenario: I need to access bloginfo() function from inside a script block on my custom theme.
Solution (partial): A partial solution to this is easily remedied with minimal code. However, this solution only allows default bloginfo() to be retrieved.
The following function goes inside your theme’s functions.php file:
function get_the_bloginfo_array() { static $_bloginfo = array( 'name', 'description', 'admin_email', 'url', 'wpurl', 'stylesheet_directory', 'stylesheet_url', 'template_directory', 'template_url', 'atom_url', 'rss2_url', 'rss_url', 'pingback_url', 'rdf_url', 'comments_atom_url', 'comments_rss2_url', 'charset', 'html_type', 'language', 'text_direction', 'version' ); $jsArray = array( ); foreach ($_bloginfo as $key) { $jsArray[$key] = get_bloginfo($key); } return json_encode($jsArray); }
var bloginfo = <?php echo get_the_bloginfo_array();?>
