| [WP Packages](https://wp-packages.org) is a Packagist-like mirror of the WordPress.org [plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins) and [theme](https://wordpress.org/themes) repositories and is included with Bedrock out of the box. | ||
|
|
||
| You can install packages from Packagist or WPackagist without any additional configuration using `composer require`. | ||
| [WPackagist](https://wpackagist.org) is another longstanding Composer mirror for WordPress plugins and themes maintained by [WPEngine in 2026](https://wpengine.com/blog/wp-engine-acquires-wpackagist/). |

@stevector I felt like documenting acquisitions was putting our thumb on the needle a little more than I'd like, but I recognize that "maintained by __ in ___" sounds off. what about:
| [WPackagist](https://wpackagist.org) is another longstanding Composer mirror for WordPress plugins and themes maintained by [WPEngine in 2026](https://wpengine.com/blog/wp-engine-acquires-wpackagist/). | |
| [WPackagist](https://wpackagist.org) is another longstanding Composer mirror for WordPress plugins and themes maintained by [WPEngine since April 2026](https://wpengine.com/blog/wp-engine-acquires-wpackagist/). |

This PR updates references in the docs from WPackagist to WP Packages. WP Packages is a faster, independent, fully open-source alternative to WPackagist with the same purpose (mirrors WordPress.org plugins/themes as Composer packages):
One factual fix worth calling out:
guides/integrated-composer/03-dependencies.mdpreviously stated that WPackagist "is included with Bedrock out of the box" — Bedrock migrated from WPackagist to WP Packages, so that line is now outdated. This PR brings it back in sync with current Bedrock.Change pattern
https://wpackagist.org→https://repo.wp-packages.org(Composer endpoint) orhttps://wp-packages.org(prose links)wpackagist-plugin/foo→wp-plugin/foowpackagist-theme/foo→wp-theme/fooHappy to adjust anything.
Disclosure: I maintain WP Packages and Bedrock.
