How can I change the page template that the blog landing page uses? I’ve created other custom page templates and in the “Page Attributes” I’m able to select the template.
No reason or need for another plugin because I have the code I need to insert but I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong that is now allowing me to customize the blog landing page (from the default options).
The blog is calling the content.php page (which I copied into my child theme) and even when I delete everything in it to test it out, nothing changes.
I want a DIFFERENT blog layout so I created/designed my own everything but it’s not usable. I’ve looked through a million forums and they are either not helpful or incomplete instructions.
Friends are able to do this with no issue but for some reason I’m stuck with only what the GP layout options are – which I do not want. What are the options to change the template?

Placing the content.php file into your child theme should do the trick.
You could also try with the index.php file.
Another option is to create a front-page.php or home.php template: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/#home-page-display
Perfect, thanks!
You’re welcome 🙂
