SandboxPress AI (SBPAI) is a professional-grade WordPress plugin designed for developers, designers, and QA testers who need realistic, bulk-generated dummy data on development, staging, or demo sites.
Unlike basic lorem-ipsum tools, SBPAI generates structured, relationship-aware content across your entire WordPress installation — including full WooCommerce simulation — using the battle-tested
FakerPHP library with an optional AI content layer.
⚠️ This plugin is intended for development/staging environments only. Do NOT install on live production sites.
🚀 Core Features
📝 Content Generation
- Generate Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types in bulk
- Assigns randomised authors, categories, tags, and featured images
- NEW: Dynamically simulate user comments using your generated Dummy User accounts (complete with their fake avatars!)
- Supports Gutenberg block output structure
- Configurable post status (publish, draft, pending, private)
- Date range controls for backdated content simulation
-
Automatic SEO meta population
🛍️ WooCommerce Automation
-
Generates Simple, Variable, Grouped, and Virtual/Digital products
- Variable products automatically receive randomised attribute sets (Size: XS–XXL, Color, Material) with fully linked WC_Product_Variation children
- Bulk Order generation across all statuses (Completed, Processing, On-Hold, Cancelled)
- Linked Orders: automatically associates generated orders with generated products and users
- Coupon generation with random discount types and usage limits
- WooCommerce Store Setup: configure address, currency, tax, shipping, and payment gateways (COD, BACS, Cheque) from within the plugin
- Setup Wizard bypass so WooCommerce does not redirect you after configuration
-
"Clear All Settings" hard reset wipes WooCommerce options cleanly
👥 User Generator
-
All roles detected automatically — configure count per role individually
- All generated users receive
@yopmail.com addresses (real inboxes, no sign-up required)
- Shared default password configurable from the UI
- Automatic WooCommerce billing and shipping address population
- Avatar sideloading from external image CDN
-
User bio and website URL generation
🤖 AI Content Integration
-
Connect one Primary AI provider and one Fallback provider
- Free providers supported: Groq (LLaMA 3), Google Gemini, Hugging Face, Mistral AI, Cohere
- Paid providers supported: OpenAI (GPT-4o Mini), Anthropic Claude, OpenRouter, Together AI, Perplexity
- Test Connection button per provider before saving
- If Primary fails, Fallback is automatically tried; if both fail, FakerPHP generates content locally — generation never stops
-
Can be toggled on/off globally from Settings
📊 Analytics Dashboard
-
Live stat cards: Posts, Products, Orders, Users, Coupons, Media Uploaded, Queue Pending
- Strict Analytical Accuracy: Guaranteed zero-overlap mathematical tracking across all post types (no double-counting pages as posts)
- System status checks: Action Scheduler, FakerPHP, WooCommerce, ACF, PHP version
-
Quick links to each generation module
🗂️ Content Management Lists
-
Dedicated list views for generated Posts, WooCommerce Products, and Orders
- Filter by Post Type, Product Type (Simple / Variable / Grouped), or Order Status
- Bulk Delete with native WordPress checkbox selection
-
Per-row individual delete links
⚙️ Settings
-
22 domain/niche presets (Real Estate, Technology, Fashion, Healthcare, Crypto, Gaming, and more)
- Niche context injected into AI prompts and image search keywords
- Nuclear Danger Zone: Not just a delete button. A full-scale data eradication tool that halts all background queues, deletes all data gracefully, and then scrubs the database with raw SQL to destroy any orphaned tracking metadata.
🔧 How Background Generation Works
All bulk generation jobs are dispatched to
WooCommerce Action Scheduler (included via Composer). This means:
- The browser never times out on large batches
- Jobs run silently in the background via WP-Cron
- A live polling counter on every page shows how many jobs remain in the queue
