 * Hi,
    I would like to add a page by defining it in my themes functions.php. My
   theme relies on some pages with page templates, and I would like these to be 
   generated automatically when I install the theme, rather than adding them manually.
   Is there a way to do this?
 *  Also, I would like to hide it from the wp-admin > Pages menu.
 * many thanks,
    Charley
 * Edit: hiding pages from wp-admin
 *     ```
       //Exclude pages from the wp-admin > Pages menu
       add_filter( 'parse_query', 'exclude_pages_from_admin' );
       function exclude_pages_from_admin($query) {
           global $pagenow,$post_type;
           if (is_admin() && $pagenow=='edit.php' && $post_type =='page') {
               $query->query_vars['post__not_in'] = array('47');
           }
       }
       ```
