Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about FakerPress

FakerPress is a plugin that creates placeholder content on WordPress sites. Geared towards developers, FakerPress is designed to help anyone use dummy content to test their WordPress website via randomly generated data such as posts, pages, images, and comments.
FakerPress can generate the following types of content: Posts, including pages Attachments (images) Comments Terms, including tags and categories Users
Yes. There are a number of settings you can customize and change when generating placeholder content with FakerPress. With FakerPress, each type of content is generated individually via the related administration page in your WordPress Dashboard under the FakerPress Settings. Each type of content includes options for how many items you would like to generate, as well as related customizations, such as: Attachments: When generating attachment data, you can select the date range, image provider (Placehold.co and Lorem Picsum), as well as the height and width or aspect ratio of the image. You can also assign images to parent posts and ask FakerPress to generate captions, alt text, and image descriptions. Comments: FakerPress-generated comments can include different comment and/or post types. You can choose the number of comments generated, length, and whether HTML should be included in the sample comments, including specific HTML tags. Posts: Posts generated by FakerPress include options for the quantity of posts, the desired date range, and post type. FakerPress allows you to choose the post size (in paragraphs), HTML tags, image provider, and the post excerpt size. You can also toggle comments and HTML. Terms: Terms allow you to generate tags, categories, and other relevant post terms by quantity, size, and taxonomy. Users: FakerPress will generate randomized users on your site, based on quantity and user roles. You can also add user descriptions, which includes settings for the length of the description, as well as HTML.
FakerPress pulls from a handful of sources, primarily leveraging data from the PHP Library called Faker. Faker uses a random number generator to select the data used for posts, terms, and all text-based data. For attachments, FakerPress pulls images from two sources: Lorem Picsum and Placehold.co.
