WP-Lipsum includes a collection of template fragments representing lots of common page types, from simple lorem ipsum paragraphs to demos of the WP comment system, and more. It works via a simple shortcode or template tag.
<h4>Using the Shortcode</h4>
<pre><code>[lipsum]
</code></pre>
This outputs the basic content block. You can edit this in wp-lipsum/templates/basic.php.
<pre><code>[lipsum template=aux]
</code></pre>
This outputs the auxilary lipsum page, with tables, definition lists, and more. You can edit this in templates/aux.php.
<pre><code>[lipsum repeat=4]
</code></pre>
This outputs 4 simple paragphs of lorem ipsum text. You can edit the text in templates/p.php.
<pre><code>[lipsum template=ol repeat=3]
</code></pre>
This loads the ordered list template and displays it 3 times.
<pre><code>[lipsum t=ol r=3]
</code></pre>
You can also use “t” and “r” as parameter shortcuts.
<h4>Lipsum Templates and Fragments</h4>
Here are the full pages of lipsum content available:
<ul>
<li>Basic Content – “basic”</li>
<li>Aux Content – “aux”</li>
<li>Blog Demo – “blog”</li>
<li>Single Post Demo – “single”</li>
<li>Headline List – “headline_list”</li>
<li>Gallery Demo – “gallery”</li>
<li>Portfolio Demo – “portfolio”</li>
<li>Long Header Examples – “long_headers”</li>
<li>Short Content Demo – “short”</li>
<li>Template Fragments</li>
</ul>
You can also call these smaller fragments, and use the “repeat” parameter:
<ul>
<li>Single Paragraph – “p”</li>
<li>Unordered List – “ul”</li>
<li>Ordered List – “ol”</li>
<li>Definition List – “dl”</li>
<li>Table Example – “table”</li>
<li>Blockquote – “blockquote”</li>
<li>Blog Teaser – “blog_teaser”</li>
<li>Image (without caption) – “img”</li>
<li>Image with WP Caption – “caption”</li>
<li>Code Demo – “code”</li>
<li>Comments Demo – “comments”</li>
<li>Gallery Item – “gallery_item”</li>
<li>List of Headers – “headers”</li>
<li>Headline Teaser – “headline_teaser”</li>
<li>Misc Content – “misc”</li>
<li>Portfolio Item – “portfolio_item”</li>
</ul>
All lipsum template snippets are located in plugins/wp-lipsum/templates. You can easily add new template files in here, and call them with the “template” attribute.
Templates use Bedrock conventions, including class names (like .table-style and .post-nav), using H1s and H2s only for titles, and other concepts.
<h4>Image Dimensions</h4>
For the image templates, you can also pass in custom dimensions with the “width”, “height” and “align” parameters (shorcuts w, h and a). This works for the img, caption, portfolio & portfolio_item, and gallery & gallery_item templates.
<pre><code>[lipsum template=img width=300 height=150]

[lipsum t=caption w=300 h=150 a=right]

[lipsum t=gallery w=500 h=220]

[lipsum t=portfolio w=100 h=100]
</code></pre>
Align can be set to “left”, “right”, “center” or “none”. These parameters default to 200×200, and alignleft.
<h4>Using the Template Tag</h4>
You can also call the plugin from your theme code, by using the display_lipsum_template() function:
<pre><code><?php display_lipsum_template($template, $repeat); ?>
<?php display_lipsum_template('basic') ?>
<?php display_lipsum_template('table', 4) ?>
<?php display_lipsum_template('caption', 1, 500, 300, 'right') ?>
</code></pre>

WP Lipsum

WP-Lipsum is a simple plugin for generating dummy text for your WordPress site.

Developing any WP plugin or theme often means needing to test it against as much of a “real site” as your development environment will allow, and if you’re adding that test data by hand, it gets pretty tedious pretty quickly.
This plugin will let you use either <a href="https://wp-cli.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">WP-CLI</a> commands, or the admin page in Tools->Content Generator to add test users, populate the Media Library with example images, an additional test custom post type and custom taxonomies, generate as many test “Lorem Ipsum” posts as you want, and then add comments to those posts.
Each of those “Lorem Ipsum” posts will be randomly tagged and categorised, and can also be assigned one of the test images as its Featured Image, as well as a variety of HTML content in addition to the usual paragraphs.
This plugin is primarily for people who need to test plugins and themes on a regular basis, but it would let anyone get a feel of how their site will look when it’s full of real content.
<h3>Workflow</h3>
All the parts of this plugin are optional, and each can be repeated as much as you want, depending on which parts of your site you want to test.
However, no individual step will “backfill” preceeding ones automatically, so if you have an empty site and you want (eg.) your test Posts to appear to have been written by different people, then you need to add the test Users first.
ie.
<ul>
<li>Enable Custom (Post Types & Categories & Tags) before adding terms from your Taxonomies,</li>
<li>Add Users before downloading Images before generating Posts before adding Comments.</li>
</ul>
<h3>WP CLI Integration</h3>
Using the plugin defaults, you can populate a test site with just the following commands:
<ol>
<li><code>wp plugin install test-content-generator --activate</code> 
Download and activate the plugin.</li>
<li><code>wp test users --amount=20</code> 
Add 20 random Editor/Author/Contributor/Subscribers users who have registered within the last 60 days.</li>
<li><code>wp test taxonomies --amount=50</code> 
Add 50 taxonomy terms split between Categories and Post Tags.</li>
<li><code>wp test images --amount=10</code> 
Add 10 images of size 800×400 uploaded by any Editor/Author.</li>
<li><code>wp test posts --amount=40</code> 
Add 40 Posts written within the last 60 days by any Editor/Author/Contributor, with a Featured Image and both categorised and tagged.</li>
<li><code>wp test comments --amount=100</code> 
Add 100 comments to your Posts written within the last 60 days by any of the registered users.</li>
</ol>
See <code>wp help test</code> for more details.

Test Content Generator


Good to see a plugin that actually generates test content with ease.


It works


Thanks for this - I really like how straight-forward it is. I've used most of the UI features and it works very well, with a nice, native interface and no distractions!



I haven't used the WP CLI features as I don't normally use WP CLI.


Great plugin :-)

Quickly generate a test site full of random users, posts, comments, tags and images.
