Dummy Content Using WordPress Theme Unit Test Data
First you need to download the XML file for theme unit test data. Go to Tools » Import in your localhost development environment. On the Import screen, click on WordPress and a new popup window will appear asking you to install the WordPress importer plugin. After installing and activating the plugin, you will be redirected to the importer asking you to upload a WXR (.xml) file.
Upload the XML file you downloaded earlier. On the next screen select the authors you want to import and download attachments. The importer will now import the data from XML file to WordPress. Once it is done, preview your site to make sure that all new content is there.
What’s Included in Theme Unit Test Data?
Everything that you would need to test your WordPress theme is packed in theme unit test data. It has categories, child categories, menu items, nested comments, pages, sub-pages, images of different sizes, image alignment, etc. There are lists, blockquotes, links, code, and other HTML tags that you should style in your themes. It is a comprehensive set of dummy data which is far better than using a dummy content generator plugin for WordPress.
