Why We Built This Plugin
Our journey is the reason this tool exists.
The "Starfish Marketing" Problem
For years, our online presence was stretched thin across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and more—an unfocused strategy we call "Starfish Marketing." The Kimroy Bailey Group had tens of millions of followers and subscribers, but our impact was diluted and our community was fragmented. When we decided to centralize everything on our own website, we made a radical choice: we deleted it all.
A Lifeline for Migration
Centralizing meant losing billions of comments, likes, and interactions. We couldn't let that history vanish. We needed a way to migrate our content and our community's voice to its new home, ensuring our new website felt as vibrant and populated as our old social channels. This plugin was our lifeline. It allowed us to migrate real comments from real users—without ever compromising their identity—and create a living, breathing digital environment from day one.
TBF Bulk Manager was born from a real-world need to reclaim our digital presence and build a focused, impactful community on our own terms.

How It Works
Bulk User Generator
This tool is the fastest way to populate your site with realistic users. It works in a two-step "Dry Run" -> "Go Live" process.
- Enter Names: Provide lists of first and last names for males and females in the text boxes. The plugin will create users for every name provided.
- Set Assignments (Optional): Select BuddyPress groups to add users to or existing users to befriend.
- Generate Dry Run: Click to see a full preview of every user that will be created, including their generated username, avatar, and assignments.
- Go Live: Once you're happy with the plan, click "GO Live" to create all the users in the database.
Avatar Manager
Easily manage your site's default and user avatars with a three-part system.
- Upload Avatars: Upload separate pools of "male" and "female" avatars. These images are stored in a dedicated folder and are used by the other tools.
- Assign Avatars: Run a "Dry Run" to see which users without an avatar will be assigned one from your uploaded pools. You can then "Go Live" to apply the changes.
- Delete Unused Avatars: Safely remove all avatars from the dedicated pools that are no longer in use to save server space.
Username & Slug Manager
This tool has two modes: changing usernames and fixing slugs.
- Change Usernames: Find users based on criteria (e.g., username contains "-gmail-com") and bulk update them to a new format (e.g., `firstname-lastname`). This is perfect for cleaning up after a data import.
- Fix Slugs: This scans for users whose profile URL slug (`user_nicename`) does not match their login name. It then provides a one-click fix to synchronize them, ensuring clean and predictable profile URLs.
Bulk Comment Generator
Bring your posts to life by adding realistic comments from your user base.
- Select Posts: Choose one or more posts you want to add comments to.
- Enter Comments: In the text box, write one comment per line. The number of lines equals the number of comments that will be created.
- Choose Commenters (Optional): Select "Priority Commenters" to use first. The tool will then use other users from your site to fulfill the remaining comments.
- Set Date Range (Optional): Define a start and end date for when the comments should appear to have been posted.
Name & Gender Editor
The fastest way to make quick corrections to user data without leaving the page.
- Unlock a Column: Click the small "pen" icon in the header of the "First Name" or "Last Name" column to make it editable.
- Edit a Name: Simply click on any name in the now-unlocked column and type your changes.
- Change Gender: Use the "Is Male?" checkbox to toggle a user's gender between male and female.
- Save: As soon as you make a change to a user's row, a "Save" button will appear. Click it to update that specific user's data instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Troubleshooting
Issue: Avatar updates are failing or showing a broken image.
This can happen if there is a server-side caching issue preventing the latest version of the plugin files from running. Please clear all caches on your server (OPcache, file cache, etc.) and your browser cache. If the issue persists, ensure file permissions for your `wp-content/uploads/` directory are set correctly (usually 755).
Issue: Pagination or sorting links on a results page redirect me to the start page.
This almost always indicates that the necessary JavaScript file for that page is not loading. This can be caused by an aggressive caching plugin or a conflict with another plugin that is causing JavaScript errors. Use your browser's Developer Tools (right-click -> Inspect -> Console) to check for any red error messages.
Future Development: WooCommerce Integration
Our journey doesn't stop here. The Trott Bailey Family has distributed millions of products globally and collected incredible customer feedback, previously tracked only in spreadsheets. The next major version of TBF Bulk Manager will allow you to import these real-world experiences as **WooCommerce product reviews**.
A large percentage of the world is still offline. We are excited to continue developing tools that bridge the gap, allowing us to digitize our real-world interactions and share them with our online community.
