Thanks buddy, you were right. The File Manager plug-in i recently tried was causing the problem.

Hi,

Here’s a sample post, http://www.webhostingb.com/blog-posts/effective-video-marketing.html

and the author name is linking to: http://www.webhostingb.com/author/Roosevelt%20Purification/

Any help guys?

After searching with the tag I found my solution. Here’s how it works

<?php

$rand_posts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_type='post' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 4");

foreach($rand_posts as $post)
{
	setup_postdata($post);
?>

				<?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, "hpbottom", true) ): ?>
				    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><img style="float:left;margin:0px 10px 0px 0px;" src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "hpbottom", true); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>
				<?php else: ?>
				   	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><img style="float:left;margin:0px 10px 0px 0px;"  src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/thumbnail.png" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>
				<?php endif; ?>
				<b><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></b>
				<?php the_content_limit(350, "[Read more]"); ?>

				<div style="border-bottom:1px dotted #2255AA; margin-bottom:10px; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; clear:both;"></div>

<?php

}

?>

Thank you sooo much. In my theme archive.php did the trick :).

Still learning WP you know.
