Plugins were not working for my custom page template, found out that I needed to put WP_head() and WP_footer(), so did that and the plugins started to work. But now the background changed to that of the default template.
If I remove wp_head(), the custom template's background comes back, but plugins do not work anymore. If I use get_header(), logos, menus,background, etc. floods the custom page template, which I don't want.
Please help.
Edit
Here are the codesCustom page template code:
<?php
