Frequently Asked Questions about wp-phpstan

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure PHPStan for a WordPress plugin to ignore vendor classes?▼

To configure PHPStan for WordPress, you set up a `phpstan.neon` file to define analysis rules and a `phpstan-baseline.neon` to manage ignored vendor classes, ensuring WordPress core functions are typed correctly.

How do I fix PHPStan errors for WordPress hooks and REST APIs?▼

Fix PHPStan errors for WordPress hooks and REST APIs by using WordPress-specific PHPDoc annotations, which provide the strict typing rules necessary for static analysis to validate dynamic hook structures correctly.

Does PHPStan require Composer for static analysis in WordPress 6.9+?▼

Yes, running PHPStan static analysis in a WordPress 6.9+ environment requires a Composer-based installation to manage dependencies properly and ensure the static analysis tool functions correctly.

What is a PHPStan baseline and when do I need it for WordPress development?▼

A PHPStan baseline is a configuration file that records existing errors to ignore, and you need it for WordPress development when you want to introduce static analysis gradually without fixing all legacy code errors immediately.

Why does PHPStan report missing classes from third-party WordPress plugins?▼

PHPStan reports missing classes from third-party WordPress plugins because it cannot automatically discover external code structures, requiring specific configuration strategies to handle external theme and plugin classes properly.
