WordPress Not Publishing Posts To Custom Template

I am building a theme that has a lot of custom templates, like every page. Ridiculous, but for some reason the template I made for the “postings” page is not getting the posts? I have set the post page in reading preferences, and I have set the page to use my template, but it still publishes posts to a default template. Of all the customization I built into this I did not expect the blog part to give me trouble! lol Anyone run into this kind of thing?
Thank you.

  1. The way I usually to it is to have standard setting in reading preferences.
    Build my front-page in index.php
    Build a template for blog posts
    Add a page and assign the blog post template

    Of course you then have a kind of placeholder page sitting amongst the other pages, don’t really like that. But it works.
