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(); ?>

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?
