How to make Home Menu( Front Page) use index.php instead of page.php

The simplest way would be to duplicate your index.php in to a file named home.php in your theme’s folder.

Another way would be to create a new page template same thing (copy index.php into it) and add this at the very top

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

Then head over to the page edit screen and select “My Home Page” from the template drop down
