How to find out what is the site template?

First, run the Power Shell script:

$web = Get-SPWeb <Site URL>
write-host "Web Template:" $web.WebTemplate " | Web Template ID:" $web.WebTemplateId
$web.Dispose()


You now know the site template name and id. But to know the template title, as you see it when creating a new site from web interface, run this command:


Get-SPWebTemplate | Sort-Object "Name"
