<div>IF you use a home.php file AND set the settings –> reading, posts
page as one of your sub pages, it will STILL use both home.php on the index AND
the posts page. Again, not what is wanted. So all of the ‘events’
that occur on the LANDING page are now duplicated on the page you set as the
POSTS page.</div>

<div>front-page.php</div>
<div>home.php</div>

<div>It ALWAYS runs the home.php for both locations, also executing all events
for is_home/front_page on both.</div>

<div>Why would you need a sub page of a site to identify itself as is_home(),
it is not the front_page or home?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>That’s the point, to put the blog posts onto a separate sub page hence
the template; and not have it initiate functions that run as home.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Again, and I will make this point a little more clear. When
you run the settings –> reading, ‘a static page’ [ set the posts page
] You are running the WordPress’s template hierarchy, so the the first
thing it’s going to do is use the template structure of the theme; for
example, the index.php / but say the theme’s index.php is made for the home
page which have things inside of which only run ON the intro-splash first page
you hit, .. PEOPLE DO NOT WANT THAT; the case-use here is that they want
to move their blog posts to a sub page that is NOT a home page.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>These are people who do not just “go in and modify a theme”, these are
users. They don’t create a home.php they don’t create a front-page.php
they use the theme and want to move their blog to a sub page from their
home.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If “I” were to create a front-page.php or a home.php or otherwise when
people use the theme the template heirarchy uses those first when the setting
is not set; which defeats the purpose of having specific functionality
separated to begin with and then it cannot happen.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And yeah, I still believe you won’t “get it”, and I have no more words to
say on the subject. It’s clear, you probably just need to
experiment some more on how it works. Or enlighten me otherwise.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I'm not sure I follow. Why would you need the blog posts index
query/context/template not be able to identify itself as such (is_home())?
<div> </div>
<div>The *blog* is the blog posts index, which should be rendered using the
Home Template Hierarchy. When settings are configured properly (i.e. as
defined by core), then a blog.php (i.e. a custom page template to render the
blog posts index) is pointless. It will never get used, unless the Theme
instructs the user to use a configuration other than the one defined by core.
I really can't think of a valid use, ever, for blog.php.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Post loops *other* than the blog posts index would use other
templates.</div></div>

<div>This is missing information. the only way for a posts loop
that does not want to recognize itself as a home page from functions such as
is_home or is_front_page is to use a custom blog.php file; the keyword in
the article is “index template” (unless someone can clarify)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>for example, say you have an index.php file that has a
do_action(‘something’) in it and the function checks if is_front_page() go
ahead and execute, you go to settings and set a page to the posts it will
recognize that page as is_front_page; so if you don’t want that
(and there are reasons) then a blog.php is the only real solution</div>
