=================================================================

[](#coding-standard-for-wordpress-plugins-and-themes-on-envato-market)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/6b1ae8fa20505fd08505a32dd4e3ada032fb7f434546fd130006e48b752a26de/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e636f6d2f777073682f777063732d666f722d656e7661746f2e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.com/wpsh/wpcs-for-envato)

Automatically check for Envato [WordPress plugin](https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000481223-WordPress-Theme-Plugin-Requirements) and [theme coding requirements](https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000479946-WordPress-Theme-Coding-Requirements). Based on the official [WordPress coding standards](https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards) but more relaxed.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org)

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

1. Add these coding standards as a [Composer development dependency](https://packagist.org/packages/wpsh/wpcs-for-envato) to your project:

    ```
    composer require --dev wpsh/wpcs-for-envato
    ```
2. Define a script in `composer.json` to run the checks:

    ```
    {
    	"scripts": {
    		"phpcs": "./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=WPCSForEnvato --extensions=php",
    		"phpcs-fix": "./vendor/bin/phpcbf --standard=WPCSForEnvato --extensions=php"
    	}
    }
    ```

    Use `composer phpcs` to run the coding standard checks and `composer phpcs-fix` to automatically fix some of the coding standard violations.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Add `phpcs.xml.dist` to your project root that provides additional configuration options:

```

```
