Dynamic (non-explicitly declared) properties are deprecated as of PHP 8.2 and are expected to become a fatal error in PHP 9.0. There are a number of ways to mitigate this: * If it is an accidental typo for a declared property: fix the typo. * For known properties: declare them on the class. * For unknown properties: add the magic `__get()`, `__set()`, et al. methods to the class or let the class extend `stdClass` which has highly optimized versions of these magic methods built in. * For unknown ''use'' of dynamic properties, the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute can be added to the class. The attribute will automatically be inherited by child classes. Trac ticket #56034 is open to investigate and handle the third and fourth type of situations, however it has become clear this will need more time and will not be ready in time for WP 6.1. To reduce “noise” in the meantime, both in the error logs of WP users moving onto PHP 8.2, in the test run logs of WP itself, in test runs of plugins and themes, as well as to prevent duplicate tickets from being opened for the same issue, this commit adds the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute to all “parent” classes in WP. The logic used for this commit is as follows: * If a class already has the attribute: no action needed. * If a class does not `extend`: add the attribute. * If a class does `extend`: - If it extends `stdClass`: no action needed (as `stdClass` supports dynamic properties). - If it extends a PHP native class: add the attribute. - If it extends a class from one of WP's external dependencies: add the attribute. * In all other cases: no action — the attribute should not be needed as child classes inherit from the parent. Whether or not a class contains magic methods has not been taken into account, as a review of the currently existing magic methods has shown that those are generally not sturdy enough and often even set dynamic properties (which they should not). See the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDZWepDQQVE live stream from August 16, 2022] for more details. This commit only affects classes in the `src` directory of WordPress core. * Tests should not get this attribute, but should be fixed to not use dynamic properties instead. Patches for this are already being committed under ticket #56033. * While a number bundled themes (2014, 2019, 2020, 2021) contain classes, they are not a part of this commit and may be updated separately.

WordPress
Welcome to the WordPress development repository! Please check out the contributor handbook for information about how to open bug reports, contribute patches, test changes, write documentation, or get involved in any way you can.
Getting Started
WordPress is a PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript based project, and uses Node for its JavaScript dependencies. A local development environment is available to quickly get up and running.
You will need a basic understanding of how to use the command line on your computer. This will allow you to set up the local development environment, to start it and stop it when necessary, and to run the tests.
You will need Node and npm installed on your computer. Node is a JavaScript runtime used for developer tooling, and npm is the package manager included with Node. If you have a package manager installed for your operating system, setup can be as straightforward as:
- macOS:
brew install node - Windows:
choco install nodejs - Ubuntu:
apt install nodejs npm
If you are not using a package manager, see the Node.js download page for installers and binaries.
You will also need Docker installed and running on your computer. Docker is the virtualization software that powers the local development environment. Docker can be installed just like any other regular application.
Development Environment Commands
Ensure Docker is running before using these commands.
To start the development environment for the first time
Clone the current repository using git clone https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop.git. Then in your terminal move to the repository folder cd wordpress-develop and run the following commands:
npm install
npm run build:dev
npm run env:start
npm run env:install
Your WordPress site will accessible at http://localhost:8889. You can see or change configurations in the .env file located at the root of the project directory.
To watch for changes
If you're making changes to WordPress core files, you should start the file watcher in order to build or copy the files as necessary:
npm run dev
To stop the watcher, press ctrl+c.
To run a WP-CLI command
npm run env:cli -- <command>
WP-CLI has many useful commands you can use to work on your WordPress site. Where the documentation mentions running wp, run npm run env:cli -- instead. For example:
npm run env:cli -- help
To run the tests
These commands run the PHP and end-to-end test suites, respectively:
npm run test:php
npm run test:e2e
To restart the development environment
You may want to restart the environment if you've made changes to the configuration in the docker-compose.yml or .env files. Restart the environment with:
npm run env:restart
To stop the development environment
You can stop the environment when you're not using it to preserve your computer's power and resources:
npm run env:stop
To start the development environment again
Starting the environment again is a single command:
npm run env:start
Credentials
These are the default environment credentials:
- Database Name:
wordpress_develop - Username:
root - Password:
password
To login to the site, navigate to http://localhost:8889/wp-admin.
- Username:
admin - Password:
password
To generate a new password (recommended):
- Go to the Dashboard
- Click the Users menu on the left
- Click the Edit link below the admin user
- Scroll down and click 'Generate password'. Either use this password (recommended) or change it, then click 'Update User'. If you use the generated password be sure to save it somewhere (password manager, etc).
