This hook is called during a themes initialization. Is generally used to perform basic setup, registration, and init actions for a theme.
<?php add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'function_name' ); ?>
where "function_name" is the name of the function to be called.
When the theme is activated, we want to adjust some of our settings and delete the default post, page and comment we get when we first install WordPress.
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'the_theme_setup' );
function the_theme_setup()

// First we check to see if our default theme settings have been applied.
$the_theme_status = get_option( 'theme_setup_status' );
// If the theme has not yet been used we want to run our default settings.
if ( $the_theme_status !== '1' ) {
// Setup Default WordPress settings
$core_settings = array(
'avatar_default' => 'mystery',
'avatar_rating' => 'G',
'default_role' => 'author',
'comments_per_page' => 20
);

update_option( $k, $v );
}
// Delete dummy post, page and comment.
wp_delete_post( 1, true );
wp_delete_post( 2, true );
wp_delete_comment( 1 );
// Once done, we register our setting to make sure we don't duplicate everytime we activate.

// Lets let the admin know whats going on.
