customizing a theme… what am i doing wrong here?

Check if you are editing the right file.. see the template hierarchy for this

thanks, i’ll have a read through that

i’ve read through that, and i’m not making any sence from it.

all i want to do, is customize the home page…. i’ve customized the header and sidebar no problem, it was pretty straight forward… but i have no idea what the homepage is called….

there’s not that many possible pages,

page.php – when i edit this, no change to the homepage, but when i click on an internal page, it’s changed… which i don’t want changed.

anyone?

i found this bit of info on here, https://vandelaydesign.com/blog/blogging/customize-your-own-wordpress-theme/#comment-59571

The blog post (or posts, if you are looking at a homepage or a category page) comes from the MySQL database.

so… the homepage comes from the database? how do i edit this?
