I am a newbie in WordPress theme development. I have a WordPress site on online. I create a new home page for my wp site and I want to use it in my wp site instead of old home page. And I want that the other pages would stay same as before. In that case, what should I do? Please share the details information.

 

And if anybody knows good tutorial about changing home page only, please feel free to share it. Thank you.

 

N.B. In that case, may I create child theme?

You can create a page template that looks and behaves how you want, and set this to only show for the page that you've set as the homepage;
