Hi, I'm developing a site on my localhost using a static home page with several other static pages using a different custom template for each. That's all ok. When I added a blog / news page to display news posts it always uses the home page template. I've assigned it the custom template in the Attributes section, but it still uses the homepage template.
Has anyone else seen & solved this issue?
Thanks for any help.

Hi robinqld,
I had exactly the same problem. The mistake I made was to name the template file for my homepage "home.php". Perhaps you did the same?
Check here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page. There it says: "you must NOT name your home page template file "home.php"".
Don't ask me why. I am completely new to CSS and php. But after renaming my homepage template file everything worked well.
Best,
Carmen
