I am using WordPress 3.4.2 with the Graphene Theme 1.8.2 with a Child Theme. I have just one sidebar on the RHS.
http://www.birminghamchoralunion.org.uk/wordpress/

I have a static front page but on all other pages I have up to 3 widgets that I can have (list-category-posts, text, sub-pages). These all work perfectly as long as I use the Default Template for the pages.

As soon as I use any custom template (placed in wp-content/themes/graphene-child) the text and sub-pages widgets don't show. The list-category-post widget continues to show.
http://www.birminghamchoralunion.org.uk/wordpress/concerts/

The text widget is supposed to show the link that I have now coded to show above the posts for this page.

Can anyone help with this please?

Here is the code for the page template

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: future_concerts
 */
get_header(); ?>
	<?php
    /* Run the loop to output the pages.
	 * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
	 * called loop-page.php and that will be used instead.
	 */
	 the_post();
    get_template_part( 'loop', 'page' );

	/* Check if the user selects specific category for the templated page */
		$cats = 'concerts';		// Change these category SLUGS to suit your use.
		// Display the posts from the category with a post_date in the future
		$args= array(
			'category_name' => $cats
		);
		// The Query
		//  $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
function filter_where($where = '') {
				$where .= " AND post_date >= '" . date('Y-m-d') . "'";
				return $where;
			}
			add_filter('posts_where', 'filter_where');
			query_posts($query_string . 'category_name=concerts&order=ASC');

		$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=concerts&order=ASC');

		// The Loop
		//  while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
		while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
//				echo '<li>';
//				the_title();
//				the_content();
					get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );
//				echo '</li>';
		endwhile;
	/* Posts navigation. */
    graphene_posts_nav();
		// Reset Post Data
		wp_reset_postdata();
    ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

As soon as I use any custom template

Why are you using this? What is the end-goal that you are trying to achieve? There may be an easier way to accomplish it without resorting to this method.

It is the only way that I can see to have future concerts on one page and past concerts on another. I am running no-future-posts because I want one of the future concerts on the header slider and can't see any other way to do that either.

I tried using list-category-posts but can't see how to make that work with date selection either. Also that method doesn't seem to show the gallery.

Do you have any other suggestions?

```
query_posts($query_string . 'category_name=concerts&order=ASC');
```
