 * The first question that I’d ask is… Why do you want to do this? Ther’s better
   ways to do this rather then what you’re suggesting.
 * As a warning, all of these changes should be done in a [child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   so you don’t loose them when your theme is updated.
 * All you need to do is create a new file in your child theme called `front-page.
   php`, paste in all of the HTML code that you had for your static page and set
   your site to have a static homepage (see ‘Appearnce -> Reading’ in your admin
   area). WordPress will use this file as the template for your home page, so there’s
   no need to do anything else.

 * Hi sohbetodamorg,
 * sounds like you managed to do exactly what I’m interested in: create a basic 
   html (php) page that “grabs content from wordpress”.
 * Can you tell the url of your landing page or explain the code you inserted in
   it?
    Thanks!!

   one content on landing page and content is very long. I want give the landing
   page privately if you want a inspect this.

 * [@eletoedica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eletoedica/)
 * Used PHP codes in html files (file not html exactly I changed extension to php)
 * After the body
 *     ```
       <?php require('../wp-blog-header.php');
         /*if you are getting 404 errors uncomment the next 2 lines*/
         status_header(200);
         nocache_headers();
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Then content
 *     ```
       <?php $the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'page_id' => 464 ) ); ?>
   
       <?php function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
       if ( is_category() || is_archive() ) {
       return 20;
            }
       else{
       return 1500;
         }
       }
       add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 ); ?>
   
       <?php while ($the_query -> have_posts()) : $the_query -> the_post(); ?>
       <h1 class="title entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
       <?php the_excerpt(__('(devamı...)')); ?>
   
       <?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
       ```
