Hi @rajeshraval786, welcome to Trac and thanks for working to ensure that WordPress Core adheres to the coding standard!

This equals sign is aligned with the equals sign in the assignment above it, so it's actually in accordance with the coding standard. Phew!

If you have ran composer install on your checkout of the repository, you can run this in your terminal to check this file (or any file) against the coding standard:

# From /path/to/wordpress-develop/
vendor/bin/phpcs src/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

• Before the patch, all will be fine.
• After the patch, this is the result:

156 | WARNING | [x] Equals sign not aligned with surrounding assignments; expected 12 spaces but found 1 space

I'll close this ticket as invalid as this is the expected alignment.

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

As noted above, 55692.patch​ is not quite correct, as the assignment needs to be aligned with the previous one.

However, we can both remove the extra space and avoid a WPCS warning by adding an empty line between the line in the patch and the assignment above, which should also make the block a bit more readable.

Coding Standards: Remove extra space in wp-admin/admin-ajax.php.

Props rajeshraval786, costdev.
Fixes #55692.
