Most of the time we need the sample data. Basically we need sample data which includes post, pages etc.

We are going to see:

Overview Overview

Themes and plugins provide there own sample data such as:

  • WooCommerce – Which provides the sample products.
  • bbPress – Which provides the forums, topics, etc.

It is hard to import the sample data from all these different plugins.

So, I have built the plugin which provides the single interface to import the sample data from different plugins with ONE click.

For now, I have added the bbPress and WooCommerce plugin sample data support.
