# Comments issue

 * I am building a site on English learning for my Chinese students and it’s all
   working well. However i am updating lots of things and finally getting around
   to sorting things out better. I’ve create a wide variety of pages for different
   categories and everything seemed to be working well. I was browsing through checking
   up on things and when I looked at my “Movies” category posts I noticed all the
   comments displayed are from the first post only.
    To be clearer, I have four “
   Movies” category posts
 * 1 – I love movies
    2 – Watching your way to English 3 – Karate Kid 4 – The Big
   Lebowski
 * All four of them are showing the comments from “I love movies”
 * So I a couple tests called
 * test
    test2 test3 (creative I know)
 * Each time i made a new test I added a comments on one of the posts and it seems
   to just add it to the next in sequence starting at Karate Kid regardless of where
   i posted. For example
 * I created test and posted on The Big Lebowski but it recognized me as posting
   on Karate Kid and all the “Movies’ category posts showed Karate Kid’s comments
 * I created test2 and posted on Karate Kid and it assigned it to the Big Lebowski
   and all the “Movies’ category posts showed The Big Lebowski’s comments
 * I created test3 and posted on Watching your way to English and it assigned it
   to test and all the “Movies’ category posts showed test’s comments
 * after test4 it went to test2 and everyone showed test2’s
 * test5 to test3 everyone showing test3
 * and so on.
 * There seems to be a problem in both the posts order of entry and the page knowing
   which comments to show (seems to always show whichever comments last had someone
   add to it)
 * I’m using navigation along the top with text and picture links and both the text
   and picture show the correct before and after as well if you click on them they
   take you to the correct page.
 * just to further test a bit I went into both “holidays” and “slang” and added 
   test posts along with test comments and everything works great. it seems to only
   be in my “Movies” category.
 * Any ideas? Or just remake the “Movies” category and hope it was just a glitch
   in the system?

 * No… i didn’t fix it. But I did figure out what is causing the problem.
 * At the bottom of my page I want to have a random list of other blogs from that
   category. so i used
 *     ```
       <?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=274&showposts=4&orderby=rand"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
       <div class="frontrecent">
       <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">
       <?php the_post_thumbnail(array(150,113)); ?><br/>
       <?php the_title(); ?>
       </a>
       </div>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       ```
   
 * When I include this in my page it does the above to my comments section. Any 
   ideas on why? I’d really rather not have yet another plugin for the “related 
   posts” function. Why would this destroy my comment sections ability to work properly?
