Pinegrow tries to use the first hyphenated word as the slug in the get\_template\_parts() function when I have a Reusable Template Part saved in a folder with a hyphen.

For example, I have a partial saved in `template-parts/content/content.php` and when I use the Reusable Template Part smart action, it generates the code:

```auto
<?php get_template_part( 'template', 'parts/content/content' ); ?>

```

when it should be

```auto
<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/content/content' ); ?>

```

Changing the smart action to a regular get\_template\_part() action also splits it incorrectly, but at least it lets me correct it manually.

Interestingly, this behavior doesn’t happen when I have a hyphen in the ‘name’ portion of the partial file, although I still end up using the non-smart action to split the slug and name the way I want.

This is an issue since [WordPress guidelines](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/organizing-theme-files/) suggest that we put partials in the /template-parts directory.
