About

This tool will help you work on a client's site without having to worry about any of their user's personal information (emails, post content etc) being hosted on your dev environment.

Installation

Make sure you have wp-cli installed and in your $PATH. Following that, run this command in your terminal:

wp package install ivankruchkoff/wp-hammer

Usage

With wp ha you can:

Clean up user emails.

wp ha -f users.user_email='ivan.k+__ID__@10up.com'

Clean up user passwords.

To auto generate passwords: wp ha -f users.user_pass=auto

To set all passwords to password: wp ha -f users.user_pass=password

Replace posts with dummy posts.

wp ha -f posts.post_content=markov,posts.post_title=random

Remove extra users.

wp ha -l users=10

Remove extra Posts.

wp ha -l posts=100

Or you can chain tasks together like in the following example, which we'll break down in parts as the syntax is fairly powerful wp ha -f posts.post_author=auto,users.user_pass=auto,users.user_email='ivan.k+__ID__@10up.com',posts.post_title=ipsum,posts.post_content=markov -l users=10,posts=100.post_date

wp ha How you invoke the command

Format

wp ha -f posts.post_author=auto users.user_pass=__user_email__UMINtHeroJEreAGleC users.user_email='ivank+__ID__@10up.com' posts.post_title=ipsum posts.post_content=markov posts.post_author is set to a random user ID (from those that will remain after we've performed any adjustments to the users) users.user_pass is set to the user email followed by UMINtHeroJEreAGleC users.user_email='ivank+__ID__@10up.com' - __ID__ is replaced by the user ID posts.post_title=ipsum replaces all post_titles with auto-generated lorem ipsum posts.post_content=markov replaces all post_content with randomly generated content, using markov chains for the specified post_content

Limits

-l users=10 posts=page.100.post_date,post.50.post_content.length users=10 only the first 10 users remain posts=page.100.postdate,post.50.post_content.length We keep the following posts: post type = page, 100 posts sorted by postdate, descending post type = post, 50 posts with the longest post_content

Another example

wp db import production.sql && wp ha posts.post_author=auto,users.user_pass=XGRwPjb7uFD5de23,users.user_email='ivan.k+__ID__@10up.com',posts.post_title=ipsum,posts.post_content=markov -l users=10 && wp db export staging.sql
