automation - Is it possible to populate my wordpress site with many random posts for testing purposes?

programmeradmin0浏览0评论

I have just deployed the Wordpress application on my Kubernetes cluster following the instructions from /

Now I would like to populate the Wordpress database with a lot of posts for testing purposes. I do not really care about the content of these posts. As far as I am concerned they can be completely random. All I care that there are a lot of them.

Is there a way to do it?

  • You can use WP REST API to send POST request to create posts. Or probably just import a database dump. – Sisir Commented Sep 16, 2020 at 20:46

  • @Sisir - POST requests does not solve my problem, because I still need to generate somehow the content for these requests. As for the database dump - gladly. Where can I get such a dump? – mark Commented Sep 17, 2020 at 1:00
  • @vancoder - could you elaborate? – mark Commented Sep 17, 2020 at 1:01
  • 1 You can send lorem ipsum text as contents, titles etc. Also checkout this plugin see if this helps wordpress/plugins/fakerpress – Sisir Commented Sep 17, 2020 at 7:25

Reset to default 1

As I can see you are using Kubernetes. There are few routes you could go.

  1. REST API: Write a light script (nodejs or php) that creates fake data and sends to rest route to create posts. You can then use cron hit rest route for creating posts.

  2. Plugin: Check Fakerpress plugin, I haven't used it but it looks like something you can use.

There is official test data available here:

https://codex.wordpress/Theme_Unit_Test

It's an XML file that you can import from Tools > Import and imports a variety of posts, pages, and menus for the purpose of testing themes.
