Hello. I know its weird but i need to fake an active community forum for the Teamspeak Non Profit License application. I am looking for a bot to do it or a premade database with a lot of topics. Can you help me?

Usually you have to do it all yourself. I know it is a lot of work, but think about it, if there were bots out there that could do it all for you, then woulden’t someone have already created the biggest forum in the world already and be making a ton of money?

I’m not saying they don’t exist, I am just saying it wont be your best option.

Best,

hello, thanks for the reply. i activated bbpFauxData. now i can’t find where to put the example code. it just says “Once you install and activate this plugin, you can do:”

since the bbpFauxData plugin doesnt work use the other ways listed in the article @sam-rohn posted.

especially use the XML file that was in the trac ticket he linked here

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

i think you need to the wordpress importer plugin to use the data from the XML file.

Hi. I tried other 2 methods. They add only a few topics, which is not enough. Can do the same in 10 minutes.

bbpFauxData should work. I just don’t know where to use the php code.

ini_set( 'max_execution_time', 30000 );
ini_set( 'memory_limit', '1024M' );

$bfd = new bbpFauxData();

const USERS   = 50;
const FORUMS  = 5;
const TOPICS  = 100;
const REPLIES = 1000;

for ( $i = 0; $i < USERS; $i++ ) {
    $bfd->generate_user();
}

for ( $i = 0; $i < FORUMS; $i++ ) {
    $bfd->generate_forum();
}

for ( $i = 0; $i < TOPICS; $i++ ) {
    $bfd->generate_topic();
}

for ( $i = 0; $i < REPLIES; $i++ ) {
    $bfd->generate_reply();
}

i think you can put that sample code in your functions.php in a child theme or functionality plugin.
