I'm soo frustrated right now. I have done several Word Press sites and never had this issue before.
I cannot get my home page to utilize my home.php page. It is utilizing the index.php file.
I have it set up in Setting to utilize a static page titled Home.
I have a template page called home.php.
I have spent three days on this and am pulling my hair out.
