Quickly generate customizable placeholder content for design, layout testing, and development workflows using a simple shortcode. Skip the Lorem Ipsum — plain, readable placeholder text that won’t distract clients or accidentally read as offensive, political, or suggestive.

Designed for the design and staging phase of a WordPress build, so you can preview exactly how your layouts look with realistic paragraph density before the actual content exists.

Two modes, one shortcode:

Structural mode — specify the exact number of paragraphs and sentences per paragraph
Excerpt mode — specify a character count and the plugin fills to that length, always ending on a complete sentence

Optional style overrides:

Set a hex color, font size, or font weight directly in the shortcode
When not set, text inherits your theme’s typography automatically

Works with all major page builders including Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, and the native Gutenberg block editor.

Key features:

Shortcode-based — works anywhere WordPress shortcodes are supported
Fully neutral word list — no gendered, suggestive, racial, religious, political, or nationality terms
No external API calls — all content generated locally from a built-in word list
No assets loaded on the front end — zero impact on page speed
Optional inline style overrides with input validation
Inherits theme styling by default

Shortcode Reference

Basic usage — all defaults:
[lumina_content]
Generates 3 paragraphs, 4 sentences each.

Word mode (headings and short display text):
[lumina_content word-count=”4″]
Returns exactly N plain words with no sentence punctuation or paragraph tags. Drop into a heading block for dummy header text. Maximum 20 words.

Structural mode:
[lumina_content number-of-paragraphs=”2″ sentences-per-paragraph=”5″]

Excerpt mode:
[lumina_content excerpt-character-amount=”400″]
Excerpt mode takes priority over structural mode if both are specified.

With style overrides:
[lumina_content color=”#2c3e50″ size=”18px” weight=”bold”]

Full example:
[lumina_content number-of-paragraphs=”3″ sentences-per-paragraph=”4″ color=”#444444″ size=”1rem” weight=”400″]

Accepted values for style attributes:

color — hex color only: #rgb or #rrggbb (e.g. #333 or #2c3e50)
size — CSS size with unit: px, em, rem, or % (e.g. 16px, 1.2rem)
weight — normal, bold, lighter, bolder, or 100 through 900 in steps of 100

Invalid values are silently ignored — nothing will break.
