This plugin saves you a lot of time when you need content for testing. With a few clicks, you have populated all the fields you need.

Plugin did exactly as expected. Its nice searching for a random process that you wanna automate and find something like this. Would like a bit more control over the content without having to modify a template, but all in all more than gets the job done.

It is great, thank you. But I think it is not populating 100% of posts with newly created categories.

Amazing plugin, perfect for testing new themes. Actually the only one that I found, and is excellent.
