You have to add "wordpress" to the intelephense.stubs array setting in your VS Code settings file. This array should probably also have many other stubs listed as well. For example: ("wordpress" is at the bottom)

//  VS Code settings.json
{
    // ... other settings here ...
    "intelephense.files.maxSize": 3000000,
    "intelephense.stubs": [
        "apache",
        "bcmath",
        "bz2",
        "calendar",
        "com_dotnet",
        "Core",
        "ctype",
        "curl",
        "date",
        "dba",
        "dom",
        "enchant",
        "exif",
        "FFI",
        "fileinfo",
        "filter",
        "fpm",
        "ftp",
        "gd",
        "gettext",
        "gmp",
        "hash",
        "iconv",
        "imap",
        "intl",
        "json",
        "ldap",
        "libxml",
        "mbstring",
        "meta",

    ]
}

This is great for WP functions/clasess support itself, if you are however still get some red highlighted functions - they may be from a plugin - so you'd need to stub or add the plugin code to the project. – Heliotropism 8/8, 2020 at 15:55

Thanks so much for this answer, I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out. In the VS Code settings I found the intelephense stubs by just searching on "stubs" and was able to add "wordpress" to the bottom of the list. – Evangelical 11/8, 2020 at 17:14

this makes my life easier, not only wordpress but other functions are understood by vscode with this – Loar 20/5, 2021 at 14:40

If you don't add the list drwatsoncode provided, you will slowly grow to that list as you use various php functions and the plugin marks them undefined. Feels odd for these to be off by default – Considered 12/2 at 18:46

The quick fix for this is simply to add WordPress to the Intelephense: Stubs list.

1: Press (Ctrl+Shift+X) to the extensions bar on the left and search for PHP Intelephense.

2: Click the settings icon of the extension and choose Extension Settings.

3: Scroll down to the bottom to see the list of Stubs.

4: Click on Add Item and choose wordpress from the list.

If the changes are not affected, try to close and reopen Vscode.

This will solve the issue with built-in WordPress Functions, However, it will not recognize any functions from installed plugins.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I never have this problem, and I think the reason is just that I open my whole WordPress site directory in VS Code at once.

Are you opening only your theme directory?

If so it makes sense that these functions are missing since they aren't in the project.

Open the whole site and this should go away. You'll also get all your theme and plugin functions imported correctly.

I found the perfect solution that actually includes all Wordpress's definitions, so the IntelliSense / Interpreter for PHP will recognize all Wordpress's functions, while developing a plugin or anything related to Wordpress.

Git Clone WordPress source code locally to wordpress - Later on you'll need the absolute path to the wordpress directory
```
git clone --depth 1 --single-branch [email protected]:WordPress/WordPress.git wordpress
```
VSCode > Install the PHP Intelephense

VSCode > Edit Settings > I usually include a .vscode/settings.json in my projects; here's how you can :

{
  "editor.formatOnSave": true,
  "intelephense.environment.includePaths": ["/absolute/path/to/cloned/wordpress"]
}

VSCode shows WordPress's definitions as it should 🥳

Here's a demo of how it works - https://youtu.be/yLgd5OKRXxM

Opinion: I prefer cloning WordPress locally in case I need to debug something during my application development, I'm not sure the other alternatives have this capability.

P.S: Yes, I got that excited about the solution, so I recorded a video with cinematic music :)

If you load only child theme folder in vs code than it give you highlight on wordpress function. Instead of this, load whole WordPress folder in vs code. It's works for me. Thanks.

I solved this as follows:

Open Your settings.json File: Ctrl + ,

Click on the {} icon in the top right corner to view the JSON settings

Locate the php.stubs Setting. If it's not available, add it.

Add "wordpress" to the Array

Your php.stubs setting should now look something like this:

"php.stubs": [
    "wordpress",
    "*"
]

Save Your Changes

you just need to add WordPress item to the Intelephense: Stubs from the extension setting.

Adam allalou and drwatsoncode are right and they work but just a reminder, to be sure that the changes are effected, don't forget to close and open your VsCode editor again.

As well as not actually being an answer, this does not reflect my experience. – Lamoureux 15/1, 2023 at 0:1
