If you’re using a static page as your front page (as shown in your first image), then neither archive.php or home.php will work. The page hierarchy for static home pages is:
- Page Template
- page-{slug}.php
- page-{id}.php
- page.php
- index.php
If you want to show an archive on your front page, select ‘your latest posts’, then home.php will work.
In either case, front-page.php will be the first in the hierarchy.
