# Custom Blog Page

 * Hello,
 * I am using a custom WordPress theme which includes:
    index.php page.php home.
   php
 * I have two wordpress pages:
    Home Blog
 * In my wp-admin reading options, I have set
    Front page displays: A static page.
   Front page: Home Post page: Blog
 * Simple enough.
 * What I expect to happen is that when viewing the website’s home page, it will
   load home.php from the theme and the content of the “Home” page.
    And I expect
   that when I view the blog page, it will load page.php from the theme and the 
   content of all wordpress posts.
 * However, when I view the website’s home page it successfully shows the “Home”
   page content, yet it uses page.php from the theme.
    And when I view the blog 
   page it uses home.php from the theme.
 * I am not sure why this is occurring. Any advice?

 * Home will use a page template – the default page template if you haven’t assigned
   a custom one.
 * Blog will use the index.php template file.
 * This is the default behaviour for WordPress sites with a static front page.
