WordPress relies a lot on the configuration located in a file named wp-config.php
. This file contains mostly define
statements and each of them creates a constant for a given WordPress option. However, no warning appears if an option is misspelled: the statement
simply defines a constant which is never used.
This rule raises an issue when a file named wp-config.php
defines a constant whose name is slightly different from a known WordPress
option.
Noncompliant Code Example
define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MOD', true ); // Noncompliant
define( 'Disallow_File_Mods', true ); // Noncompliant
Compliant Solution
define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true );
