  1. WordPress template files should be written as header-custom.php and footer-custom.php

  2. Depending on custom template you have created you will need to call for both custom header and footer using get_footer and get_footer functions. Here you can read more about get_footerfunction and here about get_footer function. Both works the same way and you just need to specify $name parameter.
