This example shows how to add default options for a newly-installed website. For that you need to create a plugin with the following content:
<?php /* * Plugin Name: Custom Installation Script * Description: A plugin that automatically setups newly-created websites */ function wp_install_defaults( $user_id ){ // Permalink structure update_option( 'permalink_structure', '/%postname%/' ); // Don't show the welcome panel update_user_meta( $user_id, 'show_welcome_panel', 0 ); // Theme Activation update_option( 'template', 'hb-base-theme' ); update_option( 'stylesheet', 'hb-event' ); update_option( 'current_theme', 'hb-event' ); }
Notes
- Global. wpdb. $wpdb WordPress database abstraction object.
- Global. WP_Rewrite. $wp_rewrite WordPress rewrite component.
- Global. String. $table_prefix The database table prefix.
