Last modified: 22 January 2025

The WordPress plugin is built-in and bundled with PhpStorm, but needs to be enabled on a per-project basis. When you open a WordPress project in PhpStorm for the first time, the IDE detects the relevance of the WordPress plugin and prompts you to enable it.

Additionally, PhpStorm prompts you to configure the WordPress core installation you are working with as an Include Path to involve WordPress core files in indexing.
