Thanks for the report @kesselb. In PHP, void is a special return type which indicates that the function returns nothing. It's not a real type, therefore it gets coerced to null as in your example, but void is the correct type here.

Cheers!

Would you accept the change if I change return; to return null; as you suggest in https://github.com/szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress/issues/176#issuecomment-1507376826?
