    I have a issue and was wondering if there is a work around for this issue I cam accross.

    I created a Home page and Press Room page as im using WP more like a CMS,

    Reading Settings > A Static page
    Front page: Home
    Post page: Press Room

    This works fine when using the default Template, however for the Home page I created a new template for a specific layout and design, however and selected this in the Home page Template settings.

    The issue that is happening is that the Press Room page is also now using this template too, eventhough the Template for that page is still default.

    I am able to dulicate this on a test new install.

    Why are these pages link in the Front page display settings?

    thanks
    Rich

    Maybe if you allowed people to see your site, then someone might be able to advice.

    Heres my test site, which I am able to duplicate the results with another install:

    http://www.sitebox.net/wordpress/
    http://www.sitebox.net/wordpress/about/press/

    in WordPress “Home” and “Press” are setup in the back to use different Templates home is using Home.php and press is using Default Template, however when viewed, Press is using the same template as Home when setup to use Front Page Displays a Static page > Front Page = Home, Post Page = Press.

    I have added a static h3 (Note* Home Page Template) on the home.php, which displays on both pages

    I really need these to use two seporate templates.

    any ideas or assistance would be appreciated.

    I am having the same problem… just to mention– WordPress automatically looks for the home.php file to apply to the homepage whether or not you set it as a custom template. But this didn’t solve my issue either. Seems like a bug. I don’t remember having this issue in previous versions.
