    Where is the template for the default homepage in the theme folder? The page that loops through latest posts. I can’t find it for the life of me! It doesn’t seem to he home.php.

    You might want to take a look at front-page.php

    Other than that, check the page source that you’re viewing; the class of the body element might give you a hint as to what file is used as header.php calls body_class().

    Make sure in Settings > Reading that Front Page Displays is set to Your Latest Posts then home.php is the page you are most likely looking for.

    I have it running locally and made a couple of additions inside the loop and they loaded just fine.

    Good luck 🙂
