You can get the post thumbnail by using get_the_post_thumbnail(): echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $page->ID, ‘thumbnail’ );
The function get_page() has been deprecated, don’t use it anymore, use get_post() instead. get_page_by_title() returns an object by default, you can change this by altering the $output parameter, which you can use like you did. Although get_post() can take an object as $id parameter I personally prefer inputing the ID, but that actually shouldn’t matter. … Read more
As Maruti Mohanty mentioned you might not be using get_template_part in the correct way. The first argument is the slug name for the generic template. The second argument is the name of the specialized template. So currently your code is doing the following: On the page that has the ‘custom-page’ slug, display the template part … Read more
Don’t use get_template_part. Instead use include( locate_template( ‘your-template-part.php’ ) ); This will make your variables available to the included file without having to use the global keyword.

After finding this answer, I went with: $template_tree = mytheme_get_template_tree(); $total = count($template_tree); //count the elements in the array end($template_tree); //set the pointer to the end of the array $immediate_parent = basename(prev($template_tree)); //get the filename of the penultimate element Then in a plugin / functions.php function mytheme_get_template_tree() { $included_files = get_included_files(); $stylesheet_dir = str_replace( ‘\\’, … Read more
Indeed, get_template_part is meant to be used in themes only, though that would include widgets inside your theme. Looking at the source code of the function you’ll see that the main reason for this is that get_template_part does some extra theme related stuff before it calls locate_template in a non-default way. That said you should … Read more
The problem is that you are running a loop from secondary query in front-page.php and the loop from main in page-home.php. So, the post data in page-home.php won’t be the data from the WP_Query in front-page.php. Additionally, you are trygin to get full template files as template parts, which is not correct.
