Posts Page: Use Page Template
Posts Page: Use Page Template
Description
When setting the ‘Posts Page:’ to a custom page within the ‘Reading’ settings of WordPress, it will by default, ignore that page’s set template.
“Posts page – Select in the drop-down box the name of the Page that will now contain your Posts… any Template assigned the Page will be ignored and the theme’s index.php (or home.php if it exists) will control the display of the posts.”
Reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_SubPanel
Plugin resolves the above issue, allowing WordPress to use the custom template set for that specific page.

Doesn't work with latest WP

Found this plugin and had hoped it would work, but unfortunately does not. Guess it is because it is many years old and not maintained.
At least the plugin's name is misleading
