Answer 1

Creating a custom page template and then adding wp_query on it should work. After creating the template, you can create a page then set the template to the new custom page template you created. For example: create a News Page Template. In your theme, create news-template.php then add this code:

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: News Page Template
 *
 */

// add your markup here and wp_query

?>
