 * It seems you’re missing this part from the loop
 *     ```
       <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
       ```

 * I think it should go after this:
 *     ```
       <div class="inner-wrapper">
       ```
   
 * Try it with this
 *     ```
       <?php
       get_header();
       ?>
   
           <!-- Page Head -->
           <?php get_template_part("banners/default_page_banner"); ?>
   
           <!-- Content -->
           <div class="container contents single">
               <div class="row">
                   <div class="span9 main-wrap">
                       <!-- Main Content -->
                       <div class="main">
   
                           <div class="inner-wrapper">
                               <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
