I already tried following these steps:
1. Go to Appearance > Editor and choose Static Front Page(frontpage.php)
2. Copy the contents into a text file and name it whatever you like then add a Template Name on top of the code.
3. Upload this PHP file to the wp-content/themes/Illdy/ folder using FTP.
4. Go to Pages > Add New. On the right panel, choose the New Template you’ve added.

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-Devserver-17\eds-www\ACTRES-local\wp-content\themes\hestia\page-templates\template_test.php on line 14
