WP - What Does WP Stand For In Online Gaming?

Well played

Gamers use WP to mean "well played." This acronym is a quick way to congratulate another player on their tight play.

Typically, players use WP to compliment their opponents' play at the end of a game. In multiplayer games, players may also use WP to compliment their teammates. In both cases, WP is often paired with GG, as part of the phrase "gg wp."

Example

gg wp thx gg

Wrong person

When someone messages you by mistake, they may use WP to mean "wrong person." This acronym lets you know the person made a goof, and the message they sent you was meant for someone else.

You're most likely to see WP used to mean "wrong person" in text messages, which the sender sent to you instead of their intended recipient. You may also encounter WP in in-game chat while playing online games, when another player has PMd you by mistake.

Example

Sorry, WP. I meant to send that message to a different Steve

TMW you receive a text sent to the WP

WordPress

WP is an abbreviation for "WordPress," the world's most popular content management system (CMS) for building websites and blogs. The term began to gain popularity in the mid-2000s as WordPress grew in popularity, and online communities needed a concise way to reference the platform.

Web developers, bloggers, designers, and tech forums typically use "WP" to save time when discussing themes, plugins, WordPress sites, and general WordPress tips. Therefore, you will likely only see the abbreviation if you are in tech circles, specifically regarding website development, or if you are working with a web developer. For example, if you are a techie, you may encounter "WP" (or "wp") in social media hashtags (#WPTips, #WPCoders), developer chats, and client communications or in YouTube tutorials and Reddit threads.

Example

Hey, did you finish setting up the client’s WP site? Almost. Just tweaking the WP theme and installing a couple of plugins Cool—make sure you update the WP core too. Don’t want any security issues Yup, already done. I’ll send you the link once it’s live
