By default, WordPress shows your newest posts on the main page of your website. However, you can change that and have a different page as your homepage.
First, create a new page in WordPress and name it "Home."
Next, create another page and call it "Blog" — this will be where your blog posts are shown.
Then, go to your WordPress dashboard, click on Settings, then Reading. Find the option that says "Your homepage displays," and change it to "A static page."
After that, select the "Home" page for your homepage and the "Blog" page for your posts.
Making a Special Home Page
You can also create a custom design for your home page.
1. Using the Site Editor (for newer themes)
If you have a newer WordPress theme that uses blocks, you can make a custom home page using the full site editor.
Go to Appearance, then Editor. Click "Add New" at the top to start creating a new template.
Choose what type of template you want — for a home page, pick "Front Page." Or, pick "Custom Template" if you want to start from scratch.
If you choose a custom template, give it a name. The editor will open so you can design your template.
Design your page using the block editor. When you're done, remember to save your changes.
Now, go back to your "Home" page you created earlier. When editing that page, look for the Template options on the right side (under the page settings). Select your new custom template from there.
You can then continue editing or just save and publish your page to see your custom home page design.
2. Creating a Custom Template Manually (for older themes or more control)
If you prefer or need to write your own code, you can do it this way.
Open a plain text editor on your computer and write this code at the top:
PHP:
<?php /* Template Name: Custom Homepage */ ?>Save this file as "custom-homepage.php" on your computer.
Next, connect to your website using an FTP program (a special tool for transferring files). Go to the folder where your theme files are stored:
`/wp-content/themes/your-current-theme/`. Upload the "custom-homepage.php" file there.After that, go to your WordPress dashboard, edit the page you want to use as your home page.
In the page settings, find the option to choose a template. Select "Custom Homepage" from the list.
Now, your page will be blank initially, and you can add your own content using HTML, CSS, or WordPress blocks. Or, if you want, you can use a page builder plugin with drag-and-drop tools to design your page easily.
Thanks.
