[theme-reviewers] index.php , home.php and blog-page.php

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

Please take note that this is if you use the internal loop pre-parser, you can do your own loop segment for the blog with paging and everything within a template.

Yes, there are currently approved Themes that are doing it wrong. That's why I wrote a tutorial on it, and why I've been placing so much emphasis on it during final approval.

    mean i can use this code in index.php header 

    <?php 
        /* Template Name: Blog */
        get_header(); 
    ?>

    and make home.php as default font page

      You cannot use blog-page.php custom page template for the blog posts index. You must correctly implement the core Template Hierarchy, which uses the home.php template file for the blog posts index. 

      Users set up a static front page like so:

      1. Create two static pages, which we'll call "Front Page" and "Blog"
      2. In Settings -> Reading, set "Front page displays" to "a static page"
      3. In Settings -> Reading, set "Front page" to "Front Page"
      4. In Settings -> Reading, set "Posts page" to "Blog"

      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:

      1. home.php
      2. index.php

      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.


      All is explained here:
