Delete pages and Create default pages for all new network sites

1 Views

I am using the following code to delete some default pages and to also create some default pages for all new sites that are created. It work as is now but that is only because I purposely have a mistake there that whenever I correct, the functions stop working.

This is the part of the code with the purposeful error ( I was also trying to use some code to choose a default page template but that didnt work )

function create_my_pages3($blog_id, $user_id){
  switch_to_blog($blog_id);

  // not really need, new blogs shouldn't have any content
  if(get_page_by_title('contact')) return;

  // create each page
  $page_id = wp_insert_post(array(
    'post_title'     => 'Attorneys',
    'post_name'      => 'attorneys',
    'post_content'   => 'This is your Attorney page.',

How can I clean this up and make it work without the purposeful error?

EDIT

The error is seen here – 

// not really need, new blogs shouldn't have any content
  if(get_page_by_title('contact')) return;

where it says ‘contact’ it’s suppose to match this (attorneys) 

// create each page
      $page_id = wp_insert_post(array(
        'post_title'     => 'Attorneys',
        'post_name'      => 'attorneys',

If I change contact to attorneys though, then all the deleted pages show up again.

  1. I’m really not sure where your logic is failing and haven’t revised each one of your insert/delete hooks. But the code can be greatly simplified to only call each function once, thus making it easy to make it work.

    add_action( 'wpmu_new_blog', 'setup_blog_wpse_114119', 10, 2 );

function setup_blog_wpse_114119( $blog_id, $user_id )
{
    create_pages_wpse_114119( $blog_id, $user_id );
    delete_pages_wpse_114119( $blog_id, $user_id );
}

function create_pages_wpse_114119( $blog_id, $user_id )
{
    $defaults = array(
        array(
            'post_title'     => 'About',
            'post_name'      => 'about',
            'post_content'   => 'This is your about page',
            'post_status'    => 'publish',
            'post_author'    => $user_id, // or "1" (super-admin?)
            'post_type'      => 'page',
            'menu_order'     => 1,
            'comment_status' => 'closed',
            'ping_status'    => 'closed',
        ),
        array(
            'post_title'     => 'Contact',
            'post_name'      => 'contact',
            'post_content'   => 'This is your contact page.',
            'post_status'    => 'publish',
            'post_author'    => $user_id, // or "1" (super-admin?)

    switch_to_blog( $current_blog );
