Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress 3.0 upgrade static page not workingI see. I do wonder, since the existence of home.php reproduced the problem described in this thread whether it’s really working as it should.
Consider: In the admin “Reading” settings I set the Front Page to be a static page. I assign a page to be the Front Page. It works fine. I create another page named “Blog” that uses a template named “Blog” with a filename of “blog.php”. But when I go to the published “Blog” page I find that the it is ignoring its assigned template and instead using “home.php”.
Is this really how home.php is supposed to work?

In reply to: WordPress 3.0 upgrade static page not workingI had this problem too on a custom theme.
I solved it by changing the name of the template file that presents the home page.
The bug occurs when the the template file for the home page is named “home.php”. The blog posts page will use that template, even if it is specified to use a different template.
When I renamed the home page template file from home.php to page_home.php, the blog posts page used the correct template.
This is clearly a WordPress bug. It may not appear in all themes because it is based on the file names of specific template files. In essence home.php is a reserved word and should not be used.
