 * Hey
 * Is it possible to automatize this process?
 * Setup a WordPress site from scratch with these settings
 * A) Create Pages
    1. Home 2. Blog 3. About us 4. Contact us
 * B) Create a couple of posts (example posts)
 * C) Set up the following
    – Settings/Reading –> Your homepage displays –> A Static
   page –> Set your Homepage (Home) and Posts page (Blog) – Permalink to the following:/%
   postname%/
 * D) Create a new menu in Menu settings with all the pages above
 * So the question is: is it possible to do all these steps in ONE process automatically?
   With a JSON file or a Plugin? …or whatever other solution?
 * Let’s say I want to install a bunch of basic WordPress sites… that’s a lot of
   work doing all these same steps for each and every site.
 * Thank you in advance!
 * Andy

 * You can setup one instance, configure it to your heart’s desire, and “clone” 
   it using any of the cloning/migration/backup/duplicator plugins. I personally
   use Duplicator: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/)
 * You may also want to look into activating Multisite Network, a feature of WordPress
   which allows you to run multiple WordPress websites (each with full independent
   domains)… off of a single WordPress installation. (If you go this route, you’d
   still setup one blog with all your basic config, and use a plugin like [NS Cloner](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ns-cloner-site-copier/)
   to VERY EASILY create as many clones as you desire… in just a click or two!)
