A test content creator plugin for WordPress posts, pages, CPTs, and terms from a convenient admin page.
An offshoot of our Evans library, this library is used for quickly and easily spinning up test content in WordPress. All data is random in length, return, format, etc. so that you can quickly and accurately test your site for edge cases.
The panel to spin up content can be found under Tools->Test Content.
- Uses namespace
DummyPress - Plugin will only create and delete 'test' data - meaning that it will never delete your real information.
You can spin up test data in a variety of formats using the DummyPress\TestContent class. There are a variety of formats and all methods are static because you only need one at a time. This class can be easily used stand-alone.
Available methods:
title() // Random-length Lorem Ipsum title.
paragraphs() // TinyMCE-compatible paragraphs with random content suchas tables, images, quotes, etc.
plain_text() // Paragraphs of plain text.
image() // Fetch a random image, make sure it is formatted right, download it, and put it in the media library.
date() // Date in the future (up to 60 days out) in the format prescribed.
time() // Time in various formats
timezone() // Timezone from a subset of available options.
phone() // Phone # in multiple international formats.
email() // Email address in random lengths/formats.
link() // URL in a completely random format.
oembed() // oembed-compatible link.
video() // (safe) Video link from YouTube or VimeoThere are quite a few filters so that you can easily modify any of the content being created. Below is a list of the filters available, detailed documentation is coming.

We will not remove any features, but might change HOW they are implemented without any notice. Soon, we will add filters & actions for you to be able to extend particular pieces but will not do this until we are satisfied that a section can be extended without breaking changes.
We are still working on adding more functionality and would love input, PRs, or requests for a particular feature.
