<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>
