Haptiq Coding Standards
=======================

[](#haptiq-coding-standards)

PHPCS ruleset for WordPress projects developed at Haptiq.

Combines [WordPress Coding Standards](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards) with [PHPCompatibilityWP](https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibilityWP) to catch both style violations and WordPress/PHP version compatibility issues.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev haptiq/coding-standards
```

The [Composer installer plugin](https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/composer-installer) registers the standard automatically — no manual PHPCS path configuration needed.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Run PHPCS with the `HaptiqWordPress` standard:

```
vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=HaptiqWordPress .
```

Or copy the provided `phpcs.xml.dist` to your project root as `phpcs.xml` and run:

```
vendor/bin/phpcs
```

If `phpcs.xml` configures the use of `HaptiqWordPress`, run:

```
vendor/bin/phpcs
```

What it checks
--------------

[](#what-it-checks)

Rule groupDefault severityWhat it covers`WordPress-Core`warningWordPress coding style and conventions`WordPress-Extra`warningStricter WordPress best practices`PHPCompatibilityWP`warningPHP and WP API version compatibilityAll violations are warnings by default — they are reported but do not block CI. See [Adjusting severity](#adjusting-severity) to promote specific groups to errors.

**Targets:** PHP 7.4–8.4 · WordPress 6.8+

Adjusting severity
------------------

[](#adjusting-severity)

To promote a rule group to an error in your project's `phpcs.xml`:

```

    error

```

Excluding rules
---------------

[](#excluding-rules)

```

```

Adding docblock enforcement
---------------------------

[](#adding-docblock-enforcement)

`WordPress-Docs` is available but not included by default. Add it to your `phpcs.xml`:

```

```
