Descriere
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.
