 * Hi,
 * I have the following code in a template file (page-home.php) and I want to include
   bits of different pages in this file:
 * I have the following code:
 * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).
   The maximum number of lines of code that you can post in these forums is **ten
   lines**. Please use the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)]_

 * I can’t see anything wrong with these near identical two blocks of code –
 * apart form using `query_posts()` for secondary loops; better to use `WP_Query()`–

 * have you checked the html output in the browser, to see if the second loop’s 
   output is possibly just hidden?
 * what happens if you swap the page IDs between the queries?
    does the page 70 
   have direct children?

 * Hi Thanks for you reply…
 * I replaced some code and added:
 *     ```
       <?php
       	$the_query = new WP_Query(array('page_id' => "18", 'post_type' => 'page'));
       	while($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
           ?>
       ```
   
 * I changed the id’s around and still nothing… actually nothing at all shows now
   except my recent posts….
 * Here is my full new code: [http://pastebin.com/07D6Zd9R](http://pastebin.com/07D6Zd9R)
 * Dan
 * Also no pages have children yet

 * > Also no pages have children yet
 * you were running queries looking for children pages….

 * [edit]
    just saw the edited queries; if those pages exist, there should be some
   output.
 * do you get at least the two empty divs?
 *     ```
       <div class="column_small" style="width:290px;">
       </div>
       ```
   
 * where is that pastebin code inserted in which tempalte?

 * I fix this problem… I changed $the_query to $front_query1 and $front_query2 and
   now it all works.
 * Thanks for your help!
