This relates to this previously asked question.
I followed exactly the advice given but it doesn't seem to work?
The advice was: "Duplicate the header.php to header-{custom-name}.php, let's say (header-nonavfooter.php) then in the template file replace get_header() with get_header('nonavfooter'). In the new header file (header-nonavfooter.php) remove the code related to navigation."
At the top of the template I'd like to have no navigation or footer is this:
<?php
/*
* Template Name: No Navigation/ No Header
*/
if (!defined('ABSPATH'))
exit; // Exit if accessed directly
get_header('headerremoved');
?>
I created a file called headerremoved.php (with the removed navigation) but it still loads the navigation which suggests this template is loading the original header...
Very confused why it isn't working - is there something I should be looking for to problem-solve here?

My headerremoved.php (named like that) is like this:
<?php
if (!defined('ABSPATH'))
exit; // Exit if accessed directly
/**
* The Header for our theme
*
* Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div
id="main">
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage
* @since 2015
*/

The top of my template file looks like this:
<?php
/*
* Template Name: No Header
*/
if (!defined('ABSPATH'))
exit; // Exit if accessed directly
get_header('header-headerremoved');
?>
get_header()line completely. What happens?headerremoved.phpfile? By the way, the file name should beheader-headerremoved.phpto work.get_header('header-headerremoved');, WordPress will automatically add aheader-prefix, and look for the file. For example, it will look forheader-header-headerremoved.phpin your case. So, rename your file toheader-headerremoved.php, and useget_header('headerremoved');
