自定义WordPress模板仅加载页眉和页脚

Question

I have a weird problem. I'm trying to make custom template for WordPress. index.php works perfectly fine - everything what should load, loads with no problems.

index.php:

<?php get_header(); ?> 
<?php if ( is_home() &&function_exists('get_template_part')) get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

But when I create a new page, like promotions.php and put custom code, It does not show up on the page. I can see only header & footer section. It looks like I didn't put any code at all.

You can make custom page templates like so

<?php
 /**
   * Template name: custom-name
   */

  get_header();
  if (is_home()) {
    get_template_part('content', get_post_format());
  }
   get_footer(); ?>

And then inside WordPress you can edit the page. On the right side below publish you can see default template. Choose your template and hit save.
