I found a code snippet from github that will help me create pages without actually creating them, here it is:

// create fake page called "chat-room"
// modify function and variable names with "ABCD" to whatever you like
// modify variable $fakepage_ABCD_url to the fake URL you require

add_filter('the_posts','fakepage_ABCD_detect',-10);
function fakepage_ABCD_detect($posts){
    global $wp;
    global $wp_query;

    global $fakepage_ABCD_detect; // used to stop double loading
        $fakepage_ABCD_url = "chat-room"; // URL of the fake page
    
    if ( !$fakepage_ABCD_detect && (strtolower($wp->request) == $fakepage_ABCD_url || $wp->query_vars['page_id'] == $fakepage_ABCD_url) ) {
        // stop interferring with other $posts arrays on this page (only works if the sidebar is rendered *after* the main page)
        $fakepage_ABCD_detect = true;
        
        // create a fake virtual page
        $post = new stdClass;
        $post->post_author = 1;
        $post->post_name = $fakepage_ABCD_url;
        $post->guid = get_bloginfo('wpurl') . '/' . $fakepage_ABCD_url;
        $post->post_title = "Page Title";
        $post->post_content = fakepage_ABCD_render();
        $post->ID = -1;
        $post->post_type = 'page';
        $post->post_status = 'static';
        $post->comment_status = 'closed';
        $post->ping_status = 'open';
        $post->comment_count = 0;
        $post->post_date = current_time('mysql');
        $post->post_date_gmt = current_time('mysql', 1);
        $posts=NULL;
        $posts[]=$post;
        
        // make wpQuery believe this is a real page too
        $wp_query->is_page = true;
        $wp_query->is_singular = true;
        $wp_query->is_home = false;
        $wp_query->is_archive = false;
        $wp_query->is_category = false;
        unset($wp_query->query["error"]);
        $wp_query->query_vars["error"]="";
        $wp_query->is_404=false;
    }
    
    return $posts;
}

function fakepage_ABCD_render(){
    return "My amazing pretend page :D";
}

Please help me figure out how to change the url, title, and get the custom fields I want dynamically for 2 pages I choose.

Thanks!
