Content not appearing in container/ Full-Width Template

I have been unable to get my text in the wordpress body to appear. I've followed Zac's code and I don't know why mine is not showing up. It's in the container where he puts the 4 columns and lorem ipsum text. Here is my code

<?php
/*
  Template Name: Full Width Template
*/

?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

  <div class="container">
    <div class="row">

      <div class="col-md-12">

        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

          <div class="page-header">
            <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
          </div>

        <?php endwhile; else: ?>

          <div class="page-header">
            <h1>Oh no!</h1>
          </div>

          <p>No Content is appearing for this page!</p>

        <?php endif; ?>

      </div>


    </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

If it's content you are needed to show, you need to use either function, the_content() or the_excerpt(). you only have the title.
