 * Thankyou for your help, much grateful…
 * ok, let me try and show you the whole thing. If you have time, please download
   the pool theme from: [http://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/theme_browser.php](http://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/theme_browser.php)
 * called: “Pool”…
 * What i have done is, taken your first script, code:
    “<?php $random_id = $wpdb-
   >get_var(“SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ ORDER BY 
   RAND() LIMIT 1”); query_posts(“p=$random_id”); ?>”
 * placed it in the index.php – and it worked, everytime a new post appeared.
 * now, the side bar. I have placed the sidebar code with the extra coding of ;
 * “<?php get_archives(‘postbypost’, ’10’, ‘html’, ”, ”); ?>”
 * so i will be able to view the last 10 posts. Now, the random code works with 
   every other theme, other than this one (pool). When i go to one of the last 10
   posts, it still refreshes, and loads another article then the one pressed. I 
   think, there is something that needs to be closed on the indexpage, for it not
   to load on the sidebar page. Below i will paste both, the index page with code
   and the sidebar code, and see if you see whats wrong.
 * ………..
 * Indexpage:
 * <?php get_header(); ?>
 *  <div id=”bloque”>
 *  <div id=”noticias”>
 * <?php
    $random_id = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status
   = ‘publish’ ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1”); query_posts(“p=$random_id”); ?>
 *  <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
 *  <div class=”entrada”>
    <h2 id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>” rel=”bookmark” title
   =”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?>
   </h2>
    <small
   ><?php the_time(‘F j, Y \o\n\ g:i a’); ?> | In <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> | 
   <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’); ?></small
   >
 *  <?php the_content(“Continue reading “.the_title(”, ”, false).”…”); ?>
 *  <div class=”feedback”><?php link_pages(‘**Pages:** ‘, ”, ‘number’); ?><?php 
   edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ‘ — ‘, ”); ?></div>
 *  <!–
    <?php trackback_rdf(); ?> –>
 *  </div>
 *  <?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>
 *  <?php endwhile; else: ?>
    <h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2> <?php _e(‘Sorry,
   no posts matched your criteria.’); ?> <?php endif; ?>
 *  <?php posts_nav_link(‘ — ‘, __(‘« Previous Page’), __(‘Next Page »’)); ?>
    </
   div>
 * <?php get_footer(); ?>
 * ……………
 * sidebar.php:
 * <!– begin sidebar –>
    <div id=”sidebar”>
 *  <?php if (function_exists(‘wp_theme_switcher’)) { ?>
    <div id=”themes”> <h3>
   <?php _e(‘Themes’); ?></h3> <?php wp_theme_switcher(); ?> </div> <?php } ?>
 * jj
    <?php wp_list_cats(‘list=0&optioncount=1’); ?> <div id=”categories”> <h3>
   <?php _e(‘Categories:’); ?></h3>
    -  <?php wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=name&optioncount=1&feed=rss’); ?>
 *  </div>
    <h4>Last Ten Posts</h4>
    -  <?php get_archives(‘postbypost’, ’10’, ‘html’, ”, ”); ?>
       <div id=”archives”
      > <h3><?php _e(‘Archives:’); ?></h3>
 *  -  <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&show_post_count=1’); ?>
 *  </div>
 *  <div id=”blogroll”>
    <h3>Blogroll</h3>
    -  <?php get_links(-1, ‘
    - ‘, ‘
    - ‘, ‘ – ‘); ?>
 *  </div>
 *  <div id=”meta”>
    <h3><?php _e(‘Meta:’); ?></h3>
    -  <?php wp_register(); ?>
    - <?php wp_loginout(); ?>
    - [XFN](http://gmpg.org/xfn/)
    - [“>WP](http://wordpress.org/)
    -  <?php wp_meta(); ?>
 *  </div>
 *  </div>
 * <div class=”both”></div>
 * </div>
 * <!– end sidebar –>
 * ………….
 * Basically, this theme is the only problem to your initial code, that works fine
   with any other theme. I just want to allow users to view the articles they want
   from the side bar, and also have the refresh function to work – for pool-
 * the above codes are from the pool theme, try it out… If it doesnt work, i think
   i would need to change themes…
 * thankyou for your help, much grateful.

 * I am grateful for you to take your time to help me, from what i understand, your
   saying to place the query, the new one that you suggested; above the “loop”…
 * but the new code that you gave, were should i place that?
 * “<?php while($random->have_posts()) : $random->the_post(); ?> “
 * were should i place this on the index page?
 * Please overlook my lack of knowledge, as im a newbie on wordpress, learning too…
 * Can you, if you have time, tel me were to place the new codes that you have provided
   with, and i will do the rest, i have tried many things, errors come or nothing
   happens.
 * thankyou so much.

 * this works with every other theme, other than with pool..
 * i have been trying to make it work for the last 2 days, it doesnt work…
 * i have placed that code {which i am really grateful for} on the main index page
   and, i have a list of last 100 posts on the side bar, it randoms on the first
   page, and i am also able to view another article from the sidebar, by clicking
   on it.
 * What i have seen is, the template “Pool”, doesnt do this. When i click on a specific
   title from the side bar {latest 100}, it doesnt open the specific post, rather
   it randomly opens another – which is not what i want, which doesnt happen with
   any other themes.
 * please assist…
 * thankyou.

 * Thankyou so much, it worked,
 * but one thing, i have a list of all the posts that i have made on the right hand
   side, now it changes when refreshed,
 * but when i click article number 140, another totally different one comes, then
   140.
 * for example, i go to the website. refresh, it works.
 * on the right handside, there is a list of all the posts i have made. when i go
   down and press 130, rather than 130 coming, then function-i assume stops it- 
   and another one comes, then 130.
 * maybe its somethng with the template, im using the pool one.
 * i think, its something to do with the code in the index page? or what
 * please assist..
