As a WordPress developer, you often want to know which template is serving the page you want so that you can customize that template. I see so many methods on the internet, but I like this method because it is quick.

Here is the code that you will add to the functions.php of your active theme.

function show_template() {
    if( is_admin() ){
        global $template;
        print_r($template);
    } 
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'show_template');

We check if the login user is the admin, and we will show the current template at the footer. DON’T forget to remove it after you are done with developing.

I found this from this link. I think it is useful to share in my post.
