	Auto Add Page on Theme Select by Steve Bruner [SlipFire] :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi All, I'm creating a theme and would like a Page to be auto created when the theme is selected. Would obviously check to make sure the page doesn't pre-exist. Tried using the switch_theme hook but it seems that it won't execute in functions.php, only a plugin. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Steve _______________________________________________ wp-hackers mailing list wp-hackers@... http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-hackers

You best bet is to do something on the init action for now. But it would be good to open a ticket in trac requesting a way for this to be achieved. I think we need an activation hook for the theme which runs on the first page load that a theme is active for in the admin westi -- Peter Westwood http://blog.ftwr.co.uk \| http://westi.wordpress.com C53C F8FC 8796 8508 88D6 C950 54F4 5DCD A834 01C5 _______________________________________________ wp-hackers mailing list wp-hackers@... http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-hackers

Hook a function to the init like Westi suggested and do your checks on the GET string at that point.
