Two shortcodes are included: * `[dummy-text]` — inserts Lorem Ipsum text paragraphs * `[dummy-image]` — inserts a responsive placeholder image ### Can I control the number of paragraphs? Yes. Use the `count` attribute: `[dummy-text count="4"]`. You can also set a global default in **Settings Dummy Text Generator**. ### Can I control the image size? Yes. Use `width` and `height` attributes: `[dummy-image width="1200" height="600"]`. Global defaults can be set in the plugin settings page. ### Which image services are supported? Lorem Picsum (real photos), Via Placeholder (solid blocks), and Placehold.co (labelled placeholders). Switch between them in the Settings page — no shortcode changes needed. ### Is this plugin compatible with the Block Editor (Gutenberg)? Yes. Add a **Shortcode block** and paste in `[dummy-text]` or `[dummy-image]` — it works exactly the same as in the Classic Editor. ### Will this plugin slow down my site? No. The plugin has no front-end scripts or stylesheets. All output is static HTML generated at render time. ## Reviews  ### [Does What It Says](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-what-it-says-1068/) [kenlyle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenlyle/) chinero 13, 2022 Generates more text than necessary.
