WordPress Plugin
Generates block-based demo content for posts, pages, products, and custom post types, with control over text, images, and taxonomies.
Lorem Blaster came from a common WordPress workflow problem: setting up realistic demo content takes longer than it should, especially when you need more than a few filler paragraphs to properly test layouts, blocks, products, and taxonomies.
I built it as a WordPress admin utility that helps teams generate usable demo content in one run. It supports posts, pages, WooCommerce products, and public custom post types, outputs Gutenberg-compatible content, can download placeholder images into the Media Library, and can optionally assign featured images, tags, and taxonomies.
Challenge
Most demo-content tools stop at plain filler text. That is not enough when you are testing Gutenberg layouts, WooCommerce templates, category structures, or image-heavy pages. The harder problem was creating something fast and flexible, while still behaving like a trustworthy WordPress admin tool and meeting WordPress.org expectations around privacy, security, and external services.
Approach
I treated it like a workflow product inside wp-admin. The form is configured per run instead of through a settings page, so users can quickly choose a content source, image source, post type, post count, and optional behaviors like inline images, featured images, and taxonomy assignment. I also made the external services explicit and optional, added an offline-safe default, and ensured fetched images are stored locally so the generated content remains stable.
Highlights
Outcome
The result is a plugin that shortens the gap between a blank WordPress install and a believable test environment. It helps agencies, plugin teams, and site builders create realistic demo content faster, review layouts earlier, and test WordPress experiences with less manual setup.
