Quick and dirty plugin to help you populate a bbPress instance with faux data to test performance
It uses https://github.com/fzaninotto/Faker to generate data that seems real.
Once you install and activate this plugin, you can do:
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();
}
