   I am having an issue with showing query_post lists and calling the page content (using an custom template). Basically, the lists show up but not the page content.

   The query_posts get called first:

   <ul id="events">
   	<?php query_posts('cat=3&amp;showposts=2'); ?>
   	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   	if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; ?>
   	<li class="news_post_1" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   	<h2><?php if (strlen($post->post_title) > 25) { echo substr(the_title($before = '', $after = '', FALSE), 0, 25) . '...';} else {the_title();} ?></h2>
   	<?php the_time('l j F, Y') ?> | <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>">More...</a>
   
   	</li>
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   
           </ul>
   
   <ul id="news">
   	<?php query_posts('cat=4&amp;showposts=2'); ?>
   	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   	if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; ?>
   	<li class="news_post_1" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   	<h2><?php if (strlen($post->post_title) > 25) { echo substr(the_title($before = '', $after = '', FALSE), 0, 25) . '...';} else {the_title();} ?></h2>
   	<?php the_time('l j F, Y') ?> | <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>">More...</a>
   
   	</li>
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   	</ul>

   Then a few divs later I need the page content to show up but have tried a number of things and all I get is a blank page.

   Any help would be great

   Might use get_posts with setup_postdata rather than query_posts for your two loops.

   Examples:
