Built-in static pages in themes: possible, or plug-in needed? (4 posts)

    WordPress already comes with a stub for About, which is a static page. Is there a way to create a theme with additional static pages, like Contact and Privacy Policy? And ideally to populate them with text? Or would a plugin be required for that?

    why not just add them as pages?

    You could export some pages and include the .xml file in your theme for users to add the pages if they wanted.

    @phyllisgrover: because why reinvent the wheel? Why not be able to "can" some pages so people don't have to recreate them manually? Reduces chances for error.

    @davesgonebananas: Thank you. Brilliant idea. I shall give it a try.
