Rather than displaying a blog feed on your index page, you may want to use a different page template. To set a custom Front page, be sure to follow these steps:
- Navigate to Settings → Reading;
- Choose A static page from the Front page displays option;
- Set the Front page to your desired page.
The Posts page you select will display your blog feed.
If you need more help setting a custom Front page, please read through this Static front page documentation.
