    Is there any way to have a new page pre-loaded with some content? I have a user who wants a site with a lot of pages with the same type of information in the same arrangement. Basically I want to give her a fill-in format. My user if very low tech. I’ve been trying to dig into the code to find where I can do this but I’m hoping somebody has already worked this out

    You might find Custom Fields to your liking.

    While Custom Fields looks interesting, and the plugin Advanced Custom Fields even more so. I’m not sure they did what I need to do and they were clearly more complicated to set up than I wanted. I finally settled for a simple child theme with a hack to the edit-form-advanced.php file by adding

    if ($post_type == "page") {
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>var a = document.getElementById('content');
if (!a.innerHTML) {
	a.innerHTML = '<p>Whatever I want to pre-load the page with</p>';
};
</script>";}

    right after the call to wp_editor. The first if limits me to pages and the second handles situations where I’m editing the text. It’s not elegant but it’s simple and it works.

    If I ever have a page where I don’t want the preloaded text it’s easy enough to delete it.
