Static frontpages

plugin doesnt work 🙁 doesnt show my pages/posts/tags/etc
Code also doesnt work (unless I do it wrong lol)

ok, still having the same problem.
sort-of fixed the plugin, but it doesnt do what I need it to do.

Here again what I try to get:

Every new registrated site should automatically get a default static page WITH a template (normally you can add a template on the right side while creating or editting a page). This template is already created and working.

The reason I want this, is that the page is needed, but also because I want to disable the option forsite-admins to create any other pages.

If there is any other way than messing with the core, Ill take it.. but if not, Ill take it aswell.

All help is welcome! Thanks in advance!

PS. normal page template is “page.php”.. how about replacing that with my own code? Or will that mess up a contact form page for example?

Thanks Ipstenu!

Both worked.. now the last thing I need is to automatically create a page.
I was hoping this could be done in functions.php – Something like this:

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. The maximum number of lines of code that you can post in these forums is ten lines. Please use the pastebin]

However, it doesnt work because of a “hook” but I dont know which one or how to edit this code.
Also I would like to hide or delete the creation of a blogpost (which is visible everytime a new site is made)

My intention is to let people create their own 1 page site.
(yoursite1.domainname.com for example)

On this 1 page they get are widget area’s (now by selecting a template).
But since they can add whatever to a page, I want to restrict access to the page-menu by hiding it. However, if I hide that menu, people cant create that 1 page right? And that “Example Page” they do get has a title + text in it AND it doesnt have the template selected (so the widget areas are not there).

If it was the way I want it to be it would be like this:
– Person makes a site.
– Site automatically gives person a Page (not visible in the main-menu, since that is a sidewide menu).
– Person fills in the widget area’s with widgets (since the Page has a template)

The person does not see an example-blog-post and a example-page, just the 1 (custom) page I created with widget area’s.

in that case there wont be sub-domains which is demanded.

Im sure there is a way in functions.php for example to make a page by default. How else do the 2 example pages get created.

The template isnt an issue anymore because I changed page.php so any new page should have the layout with widgets in them.

I searched a little more and found this for functions.php:

add_action('wpmu_new_blog', 'default_settings', 100, 2);
function default_settings($blog_id, $user_id){
    switch_to_blog($blog_id);

    // setup your page here

    restore_current_blog();
}

and page setup should be something like this:

$pages_to_create = array_diff($default_pages,$temp);
foreach($pages_to_create as $new_page_title){ 

// Create post object
$my_post = array();
$my_post['post_title'] = $new_page_title;
$my_post['post_content'] = 'This is my '.$new_page_title.' page.';
$my_post['post_status'] = 'publish'; $my_post['post_type'] = 'page';

However, this goes a bit beyond my php knowledge and I have no clue how to get this work, IF it even works
