Wordpress - get_template_part() section not showing

I'm loading a front-end site onto a html5blank wordpress theme. The header.php and footer.php files are working fine but my first get_template_part() section won't show up. I've looked through the template hierarchy and I can't see what could be causing the issue.

This is how I have my code -

whatwedo.php 

<?php /* Template Name: whatwedo */ ?>

        <section id="what">
              <!-- whatwedo template code -->
         </section>

index.php

<?php get_header(); ?>


        <!-- section -->
        <section>   

            <?php get_template_part('whatwedo'); ?>

        </section>
        <!-- /section -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

page-home.php

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_template_part('whatwedo'); ?>

    <?php the_content(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I'm not sure whether the template name should go in index.php or page-home.php but either way it should show up shouldn't it? I only have two pages set up in the dashboard so far - home and blog - and I'm pretty sure they're set up correctly.

Can anyone see why this might be happening?

As long as the template file whatwedo.php is in the child or parent theme then it should find it. I can't see any issues with your code... – Andrew Schultz
@AndrewSchultz This is so frustrating. None of the templates are showing - it looks like they're there but I can't see them. Like I've got a default opacity rule somewhere that's hiding everything. – Mike.Whitehead
Can you check the browser source code to see if the template is there but being hidden by a CSS rule? – Andrew Schultz

Try getting rid of the <?php /* Template Name: whatwedo */ ?>. That's specifically for a template, not a template part.

That part creates a new template (which can be selected from the page editor in the admin section).
