Thanks to This article I have this php code to auto generate some pages upon my custom theme's activation (Works great) however I would like to also be able to also customize the slugs that get created for each page for example for the page Tool Brands I would like the slug to be just brands This is important for a few reasons, 1) For ease of customer use www.domain.com/brands and 2) My page titles are auto generated based on the page name so I would like to keep the Tool Brands as the page name but in this case it would also create a slug tool-brands which I don't want.
Thanks for any help - also having it clearly wrote out for me would be a big help as I barely know PHP.
Code is below and also on PasteBin
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
function your_theme_create_page($page_title, $page_content)
{
$page_obj = get_page_by_title($page_title, 'OBJECT', 'page');
if ($page_obj) {
return false;
exit();
}
$page_args = array(
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_title' => ucwords($page_title),
'post_name' => strtolower(trim($page_title)),
'post_content' => $page_content,
);
$page_id = wp_insert_post($page_args);
return $page_id;
}
// Second Section of Code
add_action('after_switch_theme', 'my_custom_pages_on_theme_activation');

'News' => '',
'Products' => '',
'Policy' => '',

'Tool Brands' => '',

foreach ($pages_array as $page_title => $page_content) {

<?php

You need to add one more variable to your_theme_create_page() function with slug. And change array format to multidimensional
