    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.

    no need to set up the static page.
    undo that
    the template hierarchy directs urls for the root to home.php if it exists.

    Rename home.php to front-page.php.

    the template hierarchy directs urls for the root to home.php if it exists.

    That’s relying on server-side settings – not WP. front-page.php is the correct template name for the front page template in WP 3x. Using home.php as a template name often creates problems
