I've installed a store theme and my client asked me to use a different homepage before the current default homepage he wants to name site.com/store.
So I've renamed the original index.php to store.php and created another index.php.

How can I do now to create a link to store.php from index.php?

the contents of store.php cannot be posted in a static page because it's full of php code for last products etc.

Does exist some way to point it?

Please familiarize yourself with the WordPress templating system, beginning with the Template Hierarchy.

In the WordPress template system, a specific template file, front-page.php, is used for a customized site front page. (Note also the nomenclature; in WordPress parlance, the home page refers to the Blog Posts Index, and not to the Site Front Page.)

So, you simply need to create front-page.php, and include in it whatever front-page content you want to display.

thanks you for the info now I have created a working front-page.php, It's not clear to me how to add the store page now, I have the front-page which can link to articles, but how can I create a working store page? I've tried home.php and index.php but I get a 404 not-found page. – vittorio Feb 9 '12 at 16:37
WordPress does not recognize a template file named store.php. You need to put that content in front-page.php. – Chip Bennett Feb 9 '12 at 17:37
