How to make text show up – new page template

Your template must have the the_content() function called within the WordPress loop to show up the text you’ve entered while creating new post.

You might have missed the the_content() function in your custom template, that function retrieves and show the content of your page.

Here is sample usage

<?php get_header(); ?>
    <div>
        <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
            <?php the_title(); ?>
            <?php the_content(); /*This code prints the content*/ ?> 
        <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
    </div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
