<p>An easy-to-use plugin for generating demo content for newly created websites used during the website development and testing, before real content is created and added. The plugin includes several generators and many builders that can create text, names, images, and more. Plugin has ‘local’ and ‘remote’ builders. Remote builders depend on the online services to generate text or images. Local builders are written in PHP and can generate text, images, names and more. Most of the operations are based on randomization.</p>

DemoPress: Demo Content Generator

This is really useful. 

It let me set up a big web site full of fake data to do some load testing.  No troubles, just works. 

Thanks Milan!



Great for rigging sites for load testing

Generate demo content for newly created websites used during the website development and testing, before real content is created and added.

<p>Please send all your suggestions in Support. We will be very grateful to receive your suggestions to make this plugin better and more useful every day</p>


Postem Ipsum

Love the idea, better than similar plugins, but there is one major issue.

The file postem_ipsum_settings.php in the admin/views folder is missing, therefore only sample data for Woo. can be created.

Also, one suggestion: For Woocommerce, the long desc. and the short desc. are exactly the same, if we could have 2 separate controls for each would have been good.

When/if the missing file is restored, I will gladly give this plugin a 5 star - right now, it's only good for Woocommerce.

Thanks,
Nick

Could be and should be a 5 star plugin.

Genereate random posts, users, taxonomies, etc,  for your site. Special for site designers to test overviews, templates, and so on.
