This PR updates https://docs.altis-dxp.com/getting-started/third-party-plugins/ to use WP Packages instead of WPackagist for installing WordPress.org plugins via Composer.

WP Packages is a faster, independent, fully open-source alternative to WPackagist with the same purpose — mirrors WordPress.org plugins/themes as Composer packages:

Changes

  • Repository URL: https://wpackagist.orghttps://repo.wp-packages.org
  • Install commands: wpackagist-plugin/{name}wp-plugin/{name}
  • Prose: "WordPress Packagist" → "WP Packages"

Side note (separate from this PR)

While reviewing, I noticed altis-cms uses johnpbloch/wordpress. Worth considering Roots' alternative which offers a few benefits: multiple WordPress build flavors (full, no-content, beta/RC support), and more frequent maintenance (the Roots Composer + WordPress resource page covers it)

Just flagging — unrelated to this PR.

Happy to adjust anything.

Disclosure: I maintain WP Packages / Bedrock.
