Enable WordPress Stubs: go to Command Palette (F1) / PHP: Workspace Stubs / search for "wordpress", and confirm with OK: wordpress stubs

Include Additional Libraries: when developing a plugin depending on other plugins, there are two options:

  • Add folder with the depending plugin to your VSCode Workspace. Use menu command Add Folder to Workspace ...
  • Or set path to the depending plugin using setting "php.workspace.includePath".
