Custom template not working

    I am working on a WP development (theme: Elegant Theme’s Devi) site in a subfolder of the old static site. One page on the WP site is accessible by the public from the live site, so I don’t want the new nav for the development site to show on it.

    I created a new header file (header-new.php) with no nav bar in it

    Then I created a new page template based on home.php (pageCal.php).

    The top of the template looks like this:

    <?php
/*
 * Template Name: pageCal
 * Description: A Page Template with no top nav.
 */
get_header( 'header-new' );
?>

    Then I left everything else the same in the template.

    The new template shows up in the list of templates inside WordPress, and I am able to apply it. But then when I update the page, it defaults back to the Default Template – it won’t stick.

    Is this an issue with the theme, or the way I named the files, or anything else obvious?
