   Hello,
   I'm using your theme and I like it very much.

   I have a simple question: I want to create a page template like the homepage, where I can see all the posts listed and paged like in the homepage.

   The difference will be that, instead of the actual homepage, where in the slider content of header is automatically loaded the media associated to the first post listed, I would choose the media to load (image or video like I can do now in the other pages using the image_value custom field).

   I tried to create a new template using the header code of standard page (page.php) and the residual code of index.php but it doesn't work properly.

   How can I do it? Thank you

   I want to create a page template like the homepage, where I can see all the posts listed and paged like in the homepage.

   Here are 4 methods to create post pages like the blog index:

   1. You can use the blog posts page template and specify a custom field category (category slug or id as value) to only show posts from a category. Then you can add a slider or whatever content at the top by inserting it into the post editor of that page. You can check the "Disable the feature image on the frontpage" theme setting to to hide the feature image at the top. Btw, the feature image is best added with the set featured image functionality at the right column and instead of using the custom field method (external images can be added with the custom field method though). And videos can be added to the video field (iframe embed is recommended).

   2. You can use the bfthumbs shortcode to add posts to pages (default or no sidebar template). By using the showposts parameter will define how many posts should be shown per page and by installing the wp-pagenavi or wp page numbers plugins you will have page navigation at the bottom (also set ajaxnav to false for normal page navigation). Here are some examples of post designs with this shortcode. I also recommend to see these video tutorials.

   3. Add categories to the navigation (or use custom taxonomies with custom post types). Then you can use the shortcode template system to change it's design/layout.

   4. Create a new php page template like you have started to do. Just copy blogposts.php and rename it in the header, and modify whatever.
