did read alot on stackoverflow and wordpress documentation but nothing works iam using newest WP version
i createt a template named contact.php
<?php
/*
* Template Name: Contact Template
* description: >-
Page template
*/
get_header();
?>
everything works , you can choose the template in wp admin dashboard when creating a new site but the post loop dosent work. only on the index.php
this code i use in index. works fine. if i copy over to my template it will not load the posts
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="col-12 mt-4 mb-4 justify-content-center text-center">
<a href="">
<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?> </a></h1>
</a>
<hr>
<p> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> <br> </p>
<style>
img {
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
border-radius: 20%;
}
</style>
<?php if (has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php endif; ?><br>
<p> <a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url(get_the_author_meta('ID')); ?>"><?php the_author(); ?> <?php the_date(); ?><br></a> </p>
<p></p>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<!--end the while loop-->
<?php else : ?>
<!-- if no posts are found then: -->
<p>No posts found</p> <!-- no posts found displayed -->
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- end if -->
</div>
