How to Create a Custom Wordpress Home Page Template


If you’re like me, you love Wordpress and you currently have a website built on the Wordpress framework. And maybe you’ve probably wondered how to create a custom Wordpress home page template while displaying your blog posts on a separate page. If this sounds like you then you’re going to enjoy this “how to” video in which I demonstrate how to create a Wordpress page template in order to display a custom home page instead of the default blog post page as your default.

Additional notes from the video:

To create the template, add this script to your html page:

<?php /* Template Name: Home Page
*/ ?>

Where the word “Home Page” is displayed, you can name this page whatever you wish. This is the name of the template that you will select once you create your page within the Wordpress admin section. Be sure to watch the video above for a complete walk through on how to create a Wordpress page template.
