1. Using a Custom Page Template
Inside your child theme, create a file called: front-page.php
<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

<?php\r\n\/* Template Name: Custom Homepage *\/\r\nget_header(); ?>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"custom-home\">\r\n    <h1>Welcome to My Custom Homepage<\/h1>\r\n    <p>This is a fully custom layout built inside the child theme.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<?php get_footer(); ?><\/code><\/pre>\r\n
WordPress will automatically load this front-page.php file when “Homepage” is set to a static page.

Option 2:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
1.
Inside your child theme folder, create a new file named for example: custom-homepage.php<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
<?php\r\n\/*\r\nTemplate Name: Custom Homepage\r\n*\/\r\nget_header(); ?>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"custom-home\">\r\n  <h1>Welcome to My Custom Homepage<\/h1>\r\n  <p>This layout is controlled by custom-homepage.php<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<?php get_footer(); ?><\/code><\/pre>\r\n
???? The important line is \/* Template Name: Custom Homepage *\/
This tells WordPress that this file is a page template and should appear in the Page Editor under “Template.”<\/p>\r\n
2 
Create a New Page in the Dashboard > In the Page Attributes section (right sidebar) > Choose Custom Homepage template >Publish the page ???<\/p>\r\n
3<\/p>\r\n
Go to Settings → Reading> homepage > “A static page” > Then set Homepage: to the Home page you just created<\/p>","category_id":"29","is_private":"0","created_at":"2025-10-08T23:07:41.000000Z","updated_at":"2025-10-08T23:07:41.000000Z","category":{"id":29,"user_id":"1","name":"Wordpress","slug":"wordpress-uzoa","parent_id":"1","created_at":"2023-11-10T02:49:29.000000Z","updated_at":"2023-11-10T02:49:29.000000Z"},"user":{"id":1,"name":"R GONDAL","email":"rizikmw@gmail.com","email_verified_at":null,"two_factor_confirmed_at":null,"current_team_id":"1","profile_photo_path":null,"created_at":"2023-03-12T10:49:33.000000Z","updated_at":"2025-01-10T12:59:00.000000Z","profile_photo_url":"https:\/\/ui-avatars.com\/api\/?name=R+G&color=7F9CF5&background=EBF4FF"}},"pageDesc":"1.
