Programmatically printing a block So far I have been using this code, which works fine to print third-party module blocks.

&lt;?php
    $block = module_invoke('views', 'block_view', 'og_members-block_1');
    print render($block);
?&gt;


However, now I am trying to print a block that lives within my theme folder and I can't seem to figure out how to do that. How can I achieve this?
There is a way to programmatically print a block in a tpl file. 

For 'module' defined blocks you can use block_load() see: block_load op api.drupal.org

If you have a block defined through the block interface, it is called a custom block you can use block_custom_block_get($bid) see: block_custom_block_get() on api.drupal.org

$block = block_custom_block_get(1);
$content = $block['body'];
