   Hi, i'm trying to show random post in single.php behind the content using this function :

   <? $quantipost = '10'; // totale dei post da mostrare ?>
   <h2> <?=$quantipost; ?> Post a caso</h2>
       <ul>
         <?php
    $rand_posts = get_posts('numberposts=$quantipost&orderby=rand');
    foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) :
    ?>
         <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
           <?php the_title(); ?>
           </a></li>
         <?php endforeach; ?>
       </ul>

   this function works but conflict with comments... comments that are showed are not from post but random...
   how can i solve this? thanks in advance.

   @srpd,

   Have you had a look at the following Codex article?

   @srpd,

   You might need to have another look...
   I don't see global $post; anywhere in your code.

   My apologies @srpd,

   I can now see the code that you have copied from the Codex article...

   Perhaps in single.php after your code there's some code to display comments eg: comments.php. Is this the case?

   oh don't worry rschilt :)

   well in comments.php my code is :

   <?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
   
   <div class="lista_commenti">
   <h3>Commenti per questo articolo.</h3>
   <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
   
   <div class="lista_commenti_1">
   <div class="lista_commenti_2" >
   <span style="color:#f58b11; font-weight:bold;"><?php comment_author_link() ?> scrive:</span>
   <?php comment_text() ?>
   </div>
   </div>
   <?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>
   </div>

   let's see if i understand this right:
   first - you show single post
   second - you show 10 random posts
   third - you want to show comments for first single post.

   in this case you could try and save the query from the first single post, and restore it after your random posts:

   <?php $temp = $wp_query; // save original query ?>
   
   <? $quantipost = '10'; // totale dei post da mostrare ?>
   <h2> <?=$quantipost; ?> Post a caso</h2>
       <ul>
         <?php
    $rand_posts = get_posts('numberposts='.$quantipost.'&orderby=rand');
    foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) :
    ?>
         <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
           <?php the_title(); ?>
           </a></li>
         <?php endforeach; ?>
       </ul>
   
   <?php $wp_query = $temp; // restore original query ?>

   not tested ;-)
   if it does not work, please copy the code of the whole single.php into a pastebin and post the link here.

   hi alchymyth yes you are right. it is what i want to do.thanks... i tried your suggestion but it doesn't work, probably something wrong in my code.
   I post my single.php and my comments.php on pastebin :)

   try and put the code to save the original query into line 11 of single.php:

   <div id="singolo" style="border-top:5px solid <?php echo $color_codes_text[$colore_pagina_singola]; ?>">
      <?php $temp = $wp_query; // save original query  // ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   and then the line to restore the query just before you call the comments (line 62):

   <?php endwhile; else: ?>
   
   <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.', 'kubrick'); ?></p>
   
   <?php endif; ?>
   <?php $wp_query = $temp; // restore original query ?>
   <?php comments_template(); ?>
   </div>

   that's my last idea on this, good luck ;-)
