Change Log

• Updated on 2022-09-15: Include "wordpress" in the "intelephense.stubs" setting array. Updated extensions list.
• Updated on 2021-10-22
• Updated on 2019-06-21
• Updated on 2018-12-17

Note: When using the PHP Intelephense plugin, be sure to disable the “PHP > Suggest: Basic” setting, since this extension replaces that.

Be sure to include "wordpress" in the "intelephense.stubs" setting array, if not already present.

It may also be worth disabling the native VS Code PHP language features, as noted in the plugin's instructions.

Disable the built-in VSCode PHP Language Features.

Go to Extensions.
Search for @builtin php
Disable PHP Language Features. Leave PHP Language Basics enabled for syntax highlighting.
