Homepage customisation from other theme

  • Hello i want to try something new in my wordPress website.
    As i am using MH MAGAZINE LITE theme.
    when i open my website it shows simple homepage .
    but i want a custom homepage for example i have a theme whose front page i like most i want to add that code to my current theme so when i open my site first of all it will show that custom page then it will show the normal pages of my current theme like recent post etc.
    i want to change the layout of homepage with other theme homepage.
    is it possible in wordpress?

    Sure. Create a child theme and modify the home page template (home.php or front-page.php, probably) to get the layout you want.

    can it cannot be done by copying the code to the homepage header file only?

    Make a child theme otherwise any changes you make will be blown away when your theme is updated.

    It’s generally impractical to copy a template from another theme and expect it to look right. The basic HTML structure alone is likely different. The applicable CSS, along with named IDs and classes is certainly different. Even if you were to copy over all the CSS, the template likely uses other theme resources that are simply not available in your current theme.

    This is why Steve suggest you “modify the [your own theme’s] home page template to get the layout you want”.
