Template Page not being used

  • I’m having a problem where I have a static front page and I have my posts page set up to go to “portfolio”.

    I have a loop that gets the content for my static page in index.php and I am trying to create a new loop that will get the posts in a different manner withing portfolio.php

    Anytime I try to do this though the portfolio template page is ignored and the formatting of the index.php page is taken on.

    Does anyone know how to resolve this?
    Thanks.

  • From the Codex article here:

    Posts page – Select in the drop-down box the name of the Page that will now contain your Posts. If you do not select a Page here, your Posts will only be accessible via other navigation features such as category, calendar, or archive links. Even if the selected Page is Password protected, visitors will NOT be prompted for a password when viewing the Posts Page. Also, any Template assigned the Page will be ignored and the theme’s index.php (or home.php if it exists) will control the display of the posts.

    So, you cannot assign a template to the blog page – index.php will always be used.
