This WPMU plugin creates under the Site Admin menu called “Bulk Create Blogs” where you can bulk create/add users to blogs.
To use the plugin you must create correctly formatted data. The plugin takes 
CSV formatted data where each row contains the following data.
<pre><code>domain, user_id, blog_title, blog_topic,
</code></pre>
Each of these fields is described below.
<ul>
<li>blog_domain (Mandatory): the domain name of the blog, this should only contain alphanumeric characters and be in all lowercase. If the blog domain is empty then users will be added to the site’s root blog.</li>
<li>user_name (Mandatory): the login id of the user to be added to the blog.</li>
<li>blog_title (Optional): the title of the blog.</li>
<li>blog_topic (Optional): the name of the blog topic that this blog will be categorised under. These topics are setup under the ‘Blog Topic Management’ tab. A blog_title must be chosen if you wish to set the blog topic. (Requires cets_blog_topics plugin.) </li>
</ul>
When each line is processed, if the blog named already exists then the user given 
is added to the blog. If the blog does not exist then it is created. If a blog title 
is not provided then the blog domain is used.
This plugin also provides support for LDAP user creation. If a user does not exist and 
the ldap_auth plugin is installed then it will attempt to create a new user.
At the moment this plugin only supports sites that use domain blog naming. Support for 
sub-directories is not planned but you could easily add it yourself.
The number of blogs that can be imported at a time is limited.

A WPMU plugin for allowing the site admin to bulk create blogs using CSV data.

DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN ON A PRODUCTION SITE, OR ON A SITE WHERE YOU NEED TO KEEP THE DATA.
When deleting demo data your ENTIRE WordPress database will be reset, deleting ALL your posts, pages, comments and users. ONLY USE THIS PLUGIN ON A SITE WHERE YOU KNOW THE DATABASE CAN BE WIPED.
If you develop WordPress websites it’s useful to have some demo data in your system while it’s being built. This allows you to check that lists of things are displaying as they should, and that themes are working when they get data in them.
Historically it’s been a pain to add that data in. Either you need to take a backup of another site and use that data, or you need to tediously create multiple users and blogs yourself. No more, not now my Demo Data Creator is in town!
This WordPress, WPMU/MultiSite and BuddyPress plugin gives you a new admin screen where you can enter some parameters, click a button and (after a short wait) random demo data will be created. The parameter options include:
<pre><code>* Number of users to create
* Number of blogs per user (for WPMU/MultiSite)
* Whether users must have a blog
* Number of categories in each blog
* Number of posts in each blog
* Number of paragraphs in each blog post
* Number of pages in each blog
* Number of top-level pages
* Number of levels to nest pages
* Number of comments per post for each blog
* Number of links in blogroll for each blog
</code></pre>
For BuddyPress you also have:
<pre><code>* Number of groups
* Number of members per group
* Number of wire posts for each group
* Number of friends per user
* Number of statuses for each user
* Number of wire posts for each user
</code></pre>
Post content and comment text is automatically generated from Lorem ipsum text, for post content it’s even HTML-formatted.
Thanks to derscheinwelt for the suggestion and code to create random dates for posts, and Steve at http://slipfire.com/ for the wp_insert_user() code.

Demo Data Creator

Thanks

Very handy for a test system.  As it says - do not use on a production system.
The only way it could be any better would be if one could selectively delete, say just users in a range, or just posts in a range. But then that's not that hard to do via PHPMYADMIN now is it?
It would maybe stop those idiots who click the button that says "This will delete everything" and then complain that it did exactly that



Does EXACTLY what it says it will - thanks! Very Handy

Good for development

This plugin came in very handy during development of my own plugin. I used it to create a lot of users and it did exactly what it should.

Not sure where all the negativity about wiping the database comes from. Are they users that didn't read all the warnings? Or did older versions of the plugin not warn about wiping all data? Anyway, now it does :)

Used it for creating test users

Demo Data Creator is a Wordpress and BuddyPress plugin that allows a Wordpress developer to create demo users, blogs, posts, comments and more.
