Loop isn't displaying img icon

Having a bit of an issue with getting the loop to work. Before applying the loop I can see the broken image icon leading to the "Sorry...." page. After applying the if while and query statements then closing them the image icon disappears.

I've also tried <?php echo "jfkdjkfjs"; ?> That showed on the page but I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Lastly the CPT UI slug has the name "portfolio"

<?php 
/*
Template Name: Portfolio Page

*/

?>
<?php get_header( $name );?>



<section class="row">
      <div class="small-12 columns text-center">
        <div class="leader">

            <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
              <h1><?php the_title( );?></h1>
              <?php the_content( );?> 

        <?php endwhile; else : ?>
                    <p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no page found.' ); ?></p>
                <?php endif; ?>

        </div>
      </div>
    </section>

    <?php

      $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'portfolio'
      );
      $query = new WP_Query($args);
    ?>

    <section class="row no-max pad">

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

        <div class="small-6 medium-4 large-3 columns grid-item">
          <p>Test</p>
          <a href="item.html"><img src="assets/img/temp/item-01.png" alt=""></a>
        </div>

      <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>


    </section>  

<?php get_footer( $name );?>

I don't think you need $name in your 

<?php get_header( $name );?>
```. I believe you just need to have ```<?php get_header(); ?>```
