## Description

Quickly populate Advanced Custom Fields with lorem ipsum text, placeholder stock
images and more.

**This plugin requires at least ACF Pro 5.8.**
 If you don’t already own [ACF Pro](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/pro/),
you should consider it. It’s one of the most powerful WordPress plugins available.

### How It Works

When using this plugin there will be an eyedropper icon next to each ACF label in
the admin that when clicked, will instantly auto-populate that field with sample
content.

**This applies to all ACF Pro field types!**

 * Auto-populate image fields with stock/placeholder imagery
 * Auto-populate text fields with generated lorem ipsum
 * Auto-populate wysiwyg fields with lorem ipsum paragraphs
 * Auto-choose random posts & taxonomies on relational fields
 * Auto-choose values on Advanced fields
 * Auto-choose choices from choice fields
 * Auto-populate multiple rows of fields on Repeaters **(PRO)**
 * Auto-populate all layouts on Flexible Content fields **(PRO)**
 * Auto-populate all fields in Groups **(PRO)**
 * Auto-populate Galleries with placeholder images **(PRO)**
 * Auto-populate wysiwyg fields with rich content **(PRO)**

Field validation rules are taken in to a count and will be respected when using 
the auto-populator.

### Usage

There will be an eyedropper icon next to each ACF label in the admin that when clicked,
will instantly auto-populate that field with sample content.

**Eyedropper Icon Locations**

 * Most fields: Next to the ACF field label
 * Field groups _(PRO)_: When hovering over the field group meta box, the eyedropper
   icon will appear in the top right of the title bar
 * ACF Layout _(PRO)_: When hovering over the layout’s title bar, the eyedropper
   icon will appear in the top right next to the other default ACF action icons

For most fields you will find an eyedropper icon next to the ACF field label that
when clicked will do the sample content populate on that field. For field groups,
you will find the eye dropper icon in the top right of the

## FAQ

### How does it work with groups?

When populating groups with sample content, it populates all subfields recursively
within the group with one click!

### How does it work with repeaters?

When populating repeaters with sample content, it will first add a few rows to you
repeater field, then auto-populate all subfields recursively within each row – with
one click!

### How does it work with flexible content?

When populating a flexible content field, the plugin intelligently will find all
of your configured layouts for your flexible content field, then adds each one AND
auto-populates all of the subfields within each layout recursively.
