Hey all!

I have recently been developing with bbPress and created myself a plugin for inserting test data into a local WordPress install. Be careful when using this plugin as it does a lot of writing to the database and runs the bbPress repair tools too.

• Adds a forum with nested forums
• Adds a forum with loads of topics
• Adds a topic with loads of replies

I hope it helps someone, good luck!

Sweet 🙂 Will have a play later 🙂

In a similar vein there is also this from @MZAWeb https://github.com/MZAWeb/bbpFauxData

I have a set of sample data that I use for all the different forum importing tests I have done and should really package it up as a WXR file, similar to the WordPress Theme Tests Data as it includes virtually every type of bbPress forum, topic, topic tag, reply and reply to options available.

Nice, that looks awesome!

Would of saved me some time :p a WXR file would of been pretty handy indeed for some bbPress themes i’m attempting to create.

I’ll put it together and add it a link back here, hopefully some time today 🙂

[Lynqoid]

I haven’t forgotten about that WXR file. Well ok I did :p but would still be cool.

Done https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2516

Probably need to add some more sample topics with ‘Lorem Ipsum’ sample text and formatting next.

Awesome thanks! 🙂
