Important

Hello everyone! This is Viktor who runs the php-stubs organization. I am planning to stop contributing to the WordPress ecosystem because it is extremely difficult and I do not earn (min) €100/month.

Please support my work to avoid abandoning this package.

Thank you!

It provides stub declarations for [WordPress](https://wordpress.org/)core functions, classes and interfaces, **globals are not included**. These stubs can help plugin and theme developers leverage static analysis tools like [PHPStan](https://github.com/phpstan/phpstan).

The stubs are generated from [@johnpbloch's package](https://github.com/johnpbloch/wordpress-core)using [php-stubs/generator](https://github.com/php-stubs/generator).

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.4 or 8.0

### Installation

[](#installation)

Require this package as a development dependency with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org).

```
composer require --dev php-stubs/wordpress-stubs
```

Alternatively you may download `wordpress-stubs.php` directly.

### Usage with PHPStan

[](#usage-with-phpstan)

```
composer require --dev szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress
```

The package [`szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress`](https://github.com/szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress)depends on [`phpstan/phpstan`](http://github.com/phpstan/phpstan) and this one. Please do read [that package's README](https://github.com/szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress/blob/master/README.md)and see the `example` directory over there.

### Usage with Psalm

[](#usage-with-psalm)

Update your Psalm config to include this section.

```

```

Furthermore ensure WordPress core is *not* included in ``.

### Usage in Intellisense

[](#usage-in-intellisense)

If your IDE has trouble parsing all of WordPress you may find the stubs useful for enabling code completion and related features. For example there are [instructions](https://github.com/bmewburn/vscode-intelephense/issues/113)for usage with VSCode's [Intelephense](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bmewburn.vscode-intelephense-client)extension.

### Versioning

[](#versioning)

This package is versioned to match the WordPress version from which the stubs are generated.

### Generating stubs for a different WordPress version

[](#generating-stubs-for-a-different-wordpress-version)

1. Run modern PHP version
2. Clone this repository and `cd` into it
3. Update `"johnpbloch/wordpress": "x.x.x"` in `source/composer.json` with the desired version
4. Run `composer update`
5. And run `./generate.sh`

The `wordpress-stubs.php` file should now be updated.
