   Hi everyone

   I'm working on a new WordPress theme for my blog. It uses the http://guff.szub.net/post-image
   plugin for pulling up an image with each post.

   However, I'm now trying to incorporate this feature with a 'Most Commented' plugin, i.e. taking something like http://mtdewvirus.com/code/wordpress-plugins/ and some how fitting the call to the database for the post_image() somewhere in the script.

   Or, maybe we could re-do the following script, which I already use for a list of recent posts, so that it calls the three most commented posts, rather than the three most recent...

   <?php
   $imgposts = new WP_Query('showposts=3');
   if($imgposts->have_posts()) : while($imgposts->have_posts()) : $imgposts->the_post(); ?>
   	<ul class="recentposts">
   		<li class="recent_post clearfix" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   			<div class="posttitle clearfix">
   				<a class="postimagelink" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img alt="Post icon" class="postimage" src="<?php post_image('shared/images/post_default.png', false, false); ?>" width="35" height="35" /></a>
    				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   				<p class="meta">
   				Posted <?php the_date('d-m-y'); ?> under <?php the_category(' &amp; ') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('Comments (0)', 'Comments (1)', 'Comments (%)', 'commentlink', ''); ?> </p>
   			</div>
   		</li>
   	</ul>
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

   If you can help me with this - you're a superstar!

   Found the fix. I read through the mountains of comments left on the authors post for the plugin, and 'Reid Beels' suggested altering a 'couple of the global calls' at the top of the plugin file (didn't say which exactly).

   I've replaced these lines (51 & 52);

   `global $post, $posts, $wp_version, $wpdb;
   global $post_image_attachments;`

   With these;

   `global $post, $wp_version, $wpdb, $wp_query;
   global $post_image_attachments;

   if($wp_query->posts!=$posts)
   $post_image_attachments='';

   $posts = $wp_query->posts;`

   As you've seen in my previous comment, I've been using $imgposts = new WP_Query('showposts=5'); to pull up the 'Recent Post' images, whereas Reid Beel says that he uses query_posts()

   So I changed my calls to WordPress to use the following;

   <?php query_posts('showposts=3'); ?>
   
   			  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   				<ul class="recentposts">
   					<li class="recent_post clearfix" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   						<div class="posttitle clearfix">
   							<a class="postimagelink" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img alt="Post icon" class="postimage" src="<?php post_image('/shared/images/post_default.jpg', false, false); ?>" width="35" height="35" /></a>
   			 				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   							<p class="meta">
   							Posted <?php the_date('d-m-y'); ?> under <?php the_category(' &amp; ') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('Comments (0)', 'Comments (1)', 'Comments (%)', 'commentlink', ''); ?> 
   
   						</div>
   					</li>
   				</ul>
   			<?php endwhile; ?>

   And if you check the 'Recent Posts' section on my homepage, http://dotneil.com you'll see that all the icons and the commentlinks show! I've been working on this one for ages, so I'm very pleased!
