In Wordpress I created 2 templates :

• The first template is a custom homepage
• The second template is custom page for for post results(search by category, search by keywords)

After that I specified them in Wordpress

The custom homepage is successfully shown when I visit the website, but when I click on a specific category, my custom posts page is not showing and I get the default page instead.

• You can't use page templates for the custom posts page, besides, all of that can be done with search.php, hidden inputs, and URL parameters, there's no need for the page template – Tom J Nowell ♦ Commented Oct 16, 2018 at 19:28

For categories you would have to edit the archive.php or rather to be specific the category.php file.

That page will give you an idea of the specificity you can go with template files.
