This is my page.wide.php
<?php
/*
Template Name: Wide Page
*/
get_header();
?>
<?php
if ( have_posts() ) {
while ( have_posts() ) {
//
// Post Content here
the_content();
//
} // end while
} // end if
?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
And this is my footer.php
<footer>
<div class="container">
<div class="col-sm-6">
A&D AQUATIC & GARDEN CENTRE | WEBSITE DESIGN BY <span>MATTHEW SMART</span>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6 text-right">
<ul>
<li>TERMS AND CONDITIONS</li>
<li>PRIVACY POLICY</li>
<li>COOKES</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</footer>
</div><!-- End WRAP -->
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
Now the page i am trying to test is using the wide template. I have put some dummy text into the editor and clicked publish.
Now when i try to visit the page the first thing i can see is part of the header. The browser then takes another 5 seconds and loads the navigation which is in my header.php file.
It seems to just ignore everything from the page template and afterwards. So the_content() pulls nothing through and the footer doesn't get displayed.
I have been comparing these files with other themes i have created and cannot seem to find a cause.
Does anyone know why this may be happening?
Thanks
