You must correctly implement the core Template Hierarchy, which uses the home.php template file for the blog posts index.<div>
<br></div>
<div>Users set up a static front page like so:</div><div><br></div><div>1. Create two static pages, which we'll call "Front Page" and "Blog"</div><div>2. In Settings -> Reading, set "Front page displays" to "a static page"</div>
<div>3. In Settings -> Reading, set "Front page" to "Front Page"</div><div>4. In Settings -> Reading, set "Posts page" to "Blog"</div><div><br></div><div>Now, in that scenario (the correct way to set up a static front page), if the user assigns "blog-page.php" to the "Blog" page, which has been assigned as the "Posts page", the "blog-page.php" custom page template will be completely ignored. WordPress simply won't use it. WordPress will only use the home_page_template() hierarchy, which is:</div>
<div><br></div><div>1. home.php</div><div>2. index.php</div><div><br></div><div>WordPress will simply never use a custom page template for the blog posts index. The only way to get WordPress to use it is to provide different setup instructions for configuring a static front page.<br>
