    Hi there,

    I’m creating a website with the Block Editor for the first time.

    There is a static page called ‘MyStaticHomepage’ that I specified as my (static) homepage.

    If I understood everything correct, then the template ‘Home’ should be automatically connected to my page ‘MyStaticHomepage’. Is this right?

    But WordPress shows the page ‘MyStaticHomepage’ with the template ‘Page’.

    Is there any way to tell WordPress that it should use the template ‘Home’ with ‘MyStaticHomepage’ instead of the template ‘Page’?

    I recommend asking at https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/twentytwentytwo#new-post so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.

    This is a longstanding issue with WordPress’s templating system (both classic and block). “Home” refers to the blog posts page.

    If you specify a static page for “homepage displays” via Settings > Reading, the page will look for the “Front Page” template before falling back to the “Page” template.

    Under that same setting, the “posts page” will actually use the “Home” template. Yes, it’s all very confusing.

    In the site editor, when clicking on the “W” logo on the top left corner, you should be able to pull up the slide-out panel. Click on “Templates” and look for the “Add New” button. Do you see “Front Page” under that? You should be able to copy the content/blocks from the existing “Home” template into the new “Front Page” template.

    Here’s a screenshot: https://cldup.com/mkPHI_78a2.jpg

    However, I’m running WordPress 6.0 beta, so it might look a little different. I’ll try to set up a WordPress 5.9 test install if you need further help.
