Hi there,

create an empty page called home, and an empty page for your blog.

Go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading – here you can set your new Home page and Blog page for latest posts.

Now my website will have a front page and a home page?

Not sure if I understand.

A Front page and a home page are the same things?

Maybe an article like this would help?

My problem is that within my pages, I do not have home page listed. Now I am having difficulty editing my home page with generate blocks.
Now when I create an empty homepage as David suggested, I can pick it as a static page but it is still empty, the content on my front page is still there, I am ending up with 2 pages which suppose to do the same work. A front-page and an empty page call home page

Your front page is currently the posts page – it is set in the Readings setting as David mentioned:
https://wordpress.org/support/article/settings-reading-screen/

That page is not created by you and it’s not editable.

If you want to create a custom front page that doesn’t display your post, you would need to create a new page and assign it to the front page in Reading’s setting screen.

This is a WordPress option and not handled by the theme itself. This article explains it in details quite well so please have a read:

Ok, let me read everything and I will get back to you.
Thanks
