get_template_part inserts "quotes" in my theme

Get_template_part($slug,$name);

The {slug} relates to a template file, the {name} relate to a custom template file.

So look at an example from category.php

<?php get_template_part('content','category'); ?>

It is looking for a file content-category.php, if it cannot find the file then it will fall through to just content.php

If we create a custom loop for our template page, lets call it content-custom.php

<?php get_template_part('content','custom'); ?>

Lets say we are adding a social.php a social media bar to our theme

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

However we want one in the header and a different layout in the footer, we have social-header.php and social-footer.php we call these:

<?php get_template_part('social','header'); ?>
<?php get_template_part('social','footer'); ?>

Conclusion:
You are not passing a file name in so “” is returned.
