 * You shouldn’t require_once wp-load.php. Such a statement is not fully portable
   to other sites because where it is relative to document root is unpredictable.
   It’s also entirely unnecessary to do so in a theme template. WP has already been
   loaded by the time your template file executes.
 * Template files should always call `wp_head();` as one of its first things. Or
   load a header template file that does so. Failing to do so somewhere means important
   resources are not included in the page.
 * If you are getting “Geen berichten”, the query was not able to find any posts
   matching the query vars used. You need to determine what query vars were in place
   to prevent posts from being returned. Try using the Query Monitor plugin to help
   you diagnose what’s wrong with the query vars.
