How to programmatically create multiple comments in WordPress?

Question

WordPress

There is an array with data for comments. There can be a lot of (for 700 pieces) elements in an array. And if I just iterate over each using wp_new_comment()then I run into 504 Gateway Timeout. Is there a way to add an array of comments in one go? Or do it somehow faster?

Answer 1

You need to set a higher fastcgi_read_timeout value in the nginx settings

Answer 2

You can also figure out which tables which data WP adds when creating a comment, and write a script that writes the whole thing right away to the database with the condition that the previous iteration in the cycle is performed, or with a small time delay.
