if(strpos($bits[“host”], ‘www’)===FALSE){

That should be ‘==’.

Correction for the above.

if(strpos($bits["host"], 'www')!=FALSE){

Thanks for the tip.

I was able to solve the issue with this function:

add_filter( 'template_directory_uri', 'filter_function_name_5627', 10, 3 );
function filter_function_name_5627( $template_dir_uri, $template, $theme_root_uri ){
	// filter...
    
    if(!strpos($template_dir_uri, 'localhost')){
        $bits = parse_url($template_dir_uri);
   
    if(!strpos($bits["host"], 'www')){
        
        $bits["host"] = 'www.'. $bits["host"];
    }

        $template_dir_uri = $bits["scheme"] . "://" . $bits["host"]. $bits["path"];
   }
    
	return $template_dir_uri;
}

One other odd thing I noticed while implementing this function is that it also impacted how wordpress embeds the theme style sheet. Odd to me because my original problem wasn’t impacting the stylesheet for some reason. Just my use of get_template_directory_uri() within my theme.

If you can’t turn PHP safe mode off for your site there are some thoughts here on how you might get around that. It’s host specific but you should be able to apply the concept to different servers.
