Moving the blog page

Question

I have done the typical procedure to change the home page to a static page, and move the posts page to a /blog page.

Home page is fine, but the 'blog' page shows the same as the home page, even when I select a custom template which has the loop in, it just ignores that and displays the home page template, any ideas? :)

Answer 1

When you are selecting a static page as homepage, you can use an existing page(or a new page) to select as blog page. It won't need any custom code to display anything.

If you want to display a blog on a page which as a slug /blog/ to display the blog layout with your own code, then don't select anything for the blog page at the settings page where you have selected the static page.
