 * I am creating some stock pages when my plugin is initialized. It saves some work
   later on configuring each site I create. This leads to my question:
 * Is there a way to a page with a template in the theme I’m using when the plugin
   is initialized? It would save me yet another step.
 * Thank you for reading this and considering my question.
