Custom home page and recent posts page

  • I just updated Tracks (great theme!) and ran into some weirdness. I’ve got a custom home.php file that basically returns an archive of a custom post type. My recent (regular) posts were set to show up on a page called “Blog”. After updating, my custom front page is fine, but I can no longer get to my “Blog” page. It now just returns the same custom home.php file as my front page. All my other pages behave normally. Any guesses?

    I’d need to see a copy of your child theme to figure out the issue, but first, let me suggest a different way of approaching your setup that I know will work.

    You can create a Page Template and call it something like “Homepage”. In that file, include the same loop you are currently are using in your home.php file. Then, create a Page from your site’s dashboard and select the “Homepage” template you just created. Next, create an empty Page and call it “Blog”.

    Finally, visit the Settings > Reading menu, select the “Homepage” to display on the front page of your site, and the empty “Blog” page for your posts. You now have your custom loop on your front page and a working Blog page.

    You could then delete the home.php file. Please let me know if this works well for you, or if you have any other questions.
