   I know how to use the query_posts function to display a random post in a page, and I have done so with a custom page template.

   But the issue I am running into is that I want to see comments and comment reply box for the random post displayed on the page as well.

   Is this possible at all?

   I basically want a page that displays an entire random post, including everything a post page would normally include.

   make sure 'allow comments' is ticked;

   you probably already have:

   <?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

   in your template file;
   try to extend this:

   <?php global $withcomments;
   $withcomments = 1;
   comments_template( '', true ); ?>

   Thanks soooo much! That did the trick!

   Anyway you could explain in short what this does?

   I'm very slowly starting to understand PHP and interested in learning all I can. :)
