Content Forge is a powerful WordPress plugin designed for developers and site builders who need to quickly generate realistic dummy content for testing and development purposes.

Privacy Policy
Content Forge uses Feedio to collect some telemetry data upon user’s confirmation. This helps us to troubleshoot problems faster & make product improvements. Feedio does not gather any data by default. Feedio only starts gathering basic telemetry data when a user allows it via the admin notice. We collect the data to ensure great user experience for all our users.
Integrating Feedio DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY start gathering data, without confirmation from users in any case.
