WP-Faker is a small tool to generate WordPress content really quickly ! More than that, you can add Acf fields too ! It's based on François Zaninotto's Faker PHP library.

I needed a small tool to seed my WordPress installations when developping new themes for customers. Having to manually write into each fields of some posts containing a lot of acf fields is such a pain...

That's why I did this tool which allows me to specify which post type I want to populate and assign dummy values to each fields.

By the way, WP-Faker works without Acf too.

Just clone the project at the root of your wordpress install and install Faker with composer :

git clone https://github.com/alanpilloud/wp-faker.git
cd wp-faker
composer install

All you have to do is editing the file config-sample.php to suit your needs and browse the wp-faker folder.

If you need to run more than one configuration, make a new config file at the root of your WP-Faker installation. It must be named after this pattern :

config-***name***.php

Then copy paste the content of config-sample.php and start editing. You will be able to choose which file to use in the footer of the "ready" page.

To use flex content fields, you can't use the system name of the field. You will need to use the field_key (you know, this kind of key : field_5641e6b5d1167)

Wp-Faker adds a user named WpFakerUser. To remove all the dummy content (images too), simply delete the user and specify that you don't want to keep its content.

This tool is meant to be used only for development, don't let anybody pollute your website !

WP-Faker is still under developement and here is what I will have to do :

• Pre-generate the $value array regarding the actual Acf config.
• Managing multiple config files.
• Being more userproof.
