he Settings page gives you a number of options.

• Content Text is by far the most fun thing about this plugin. You have a choice of Random, Lorem Ipsum, or Star Wars content!  
• Post Type is nicely done. The plugin automatically picks up the different post types available and puts them in the drop down list. 
• Image sources for dummy images are also easy to work with. You can go with the ones provided by the plugin or enter URLs for images in the Image Sources box. The images will be used at random. To make sure the URLs work, click on Save the Settings, and thumbnails of the images you’ve entered show up along the bottom of the page.  If you need a site with images to use for internal purposes only, try the samples page from Budget Stock Photos.
• Paragraphs lets you set the number of paragraphs
• Maximum lets you set how many posts to generate
• Random tags: here is where you enter a list of tags you want Easy Populate Posts to apply at random to each post
• Title prefix is a helpful setting which I highly recommend using because this plugin doesn’t have a function that automatically deletes the fake content you’ve generated. By giving all your fake content a prefix, they’re easier to identify and delete in bulk.  Here I’ve used ‘Luke’ as the prefix.
• Date can be random, or in the past, or in the future. If dated in the future, they’ll be created with a ‘scheduled’ status and you’ll need to publish them one by one. Past is better, especially if you want to see the new content show up in pages or sidebars that feature latest posts.
