Romes, The method you suggested will definitely work and is likely the easiest; however, I can definitely see cases in which this is not ideal. To accomplish this more “programmatically”, you would need to do the following: 1) Set a new query var 2) Generate a new rewrite rule to make sense of that query … Read more
When you make a page the page for posts, it’s no longer a “page” in the conventional sense. Refer to the Template Hierarchy for home page display- the quickest fix is to rename your blog template home.php, and WordPress will load that before index.php.
For custom templates, I tend to use the default page.php, make any changes to the HTML (if need be), and enqueue an overriding stylesheet before get_header(): /** * Template Name: My Page Template */ wp_enqueue_style( ‘my-page-template’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/css/page-template.css’ ); get_header(); Everything’ll function like a normal page, except now you have a stylesheet for declaring … Read more

There is an experimental Innerblocks feature (__experimentalTemplateOptions) that Im not sure if also affects the post template. In any case I think this won’t solve your issue which is that you want the layout to change even after an initial selection of template. What happens in this scenario is that the editor might have the … Read more
I would recommend having two static Pages for this arrangement: The static page to serve as the Placeholder for your site front page The static page to hold the content you want to display as an excerpt on the front page Then, in front-page.php, you simply query static page 2 above, and output post-excerpt and … Read more

Consider using the is_home() conditional tag to check whether or not the home page is being displayed or not. <?php if ( is_home() ) { // This is a homepage // Do your fancy loop here with extra bells and whistles } else { // This is not a homepage (i.e. paginated page) // Do … Read more
