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.

### 󠀁[Very Useful. Did what it was supposed to do](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-useful-did-what-it-was-supposed-to-do/)󠁿

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.
