Generate fake data using WP CLI

WP CLI Faker

This package introduces two new WP CLI commands to generate fake data.

Install as WordPress package

This command can be installed for WP CLI by running:

wp package install [email protected]:Yoast/wp-cli-faker.git.

In many cases the default memory limit will not be enough to run composer so running the following instead is generally recommended:

php -d memory_limit=512M "$(which wp)" package install [email protected]:Yoast/wp-cli-faker.git

Install as WordPress Plugin

Clone the repo into your WordPress plugins folder.

This repo requires composer 1+ in order to be compatible with WP cli, so to use it as a plugin you must install dependencies with composer 1+. For ease of use composer 1 is shipped as a .phar file.

Run php composer.phar install.
