FAQPage Schema
How do I configure PHPStan for a WordPress plugin to reduce false positives?▼

Configuring PHPStan for WordPress requires loading WordPress stubs and handling third-party plugin classes in phpstan.neon to reduce false positives from dynamic APIs. This skill guides that setup including baseline generation for legacy code.

Why does PHPStan report unknown classes in my WordPress theme?▼

PHPStan reports unknown classes in WordPress themes because dynamic APIs and third-party classes lack native type definitions. Loading WordPress stubs resolves these errors by providing accurate PHPDoc and type-hinting for hooks and data models.

Do I need Composer to run PHPStan static analysis on WordPress sites?▼

Yes, running PHPStan static analysis on WordPress sites requires a Composer-based PHPStan setup. This environment is necessary to correctly load dependencies and WordPress stubs for accurate type-hinting and static analysis.

What is the best way to manage PHPStan baselines for legacy WordPress code?▼

Managing PHPStan baselines for legacy WordPress code involves generating a baseline file to safely suppress existing errors while enforcing static analysis on new code. This skill provides steps to create and maintain these baselines.

Can I add type-hinting for WordPress REST endpoints and hooks in PHPStan?▼

Yes, you can add type-hinting for WordPress REST endpoints and hooks by applying WordPress stubs and accurate PHPDoc recommendations. This improves static analysis accuracy for data models and third-party plugin classes.
