How to add a static page in Wordpress site as home page?

By default, in my wordpress site, the home page consists of all recent posts. It's the normal scenario. But I want to make my home page static page containing some specific information and name another page as 'post' to show the recent posts there. How can I do that? Do I need specific theme for that?

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

    Click settings, Reading and there you can choose the static page to serve as your home page. Be sure to create that page first under pages (not posts)

    I guess the purpose the button isn't available for you is via reality which you first ought to focus on text fabric you need to make clickable. So, first you enter some text fabric, then confirm on the factor of the text fabric you need to make clickable and the button ought to become available. solid success!

    To display the blog posts, you have to use shortcodes if the theme does support such one.
