Hi Richie
I tried solving it – but this is the error I am getting now.

PHP Notice: Undefined
variable: cat_id in
../archive.php on line 20

Nopes. That was for P2 theme – i.e. changing the default type from ‘Status Update’ to ‘Blog Post’ or something else.

Basically, I do want to display only 1 post – but randomly from a selected category.
THe query that I am running fetches the first post – so essentially, rand function isn’t working fine.

And I am running 2.6.5 – any help?

Umm..but showposts is meant to fetch ‘n’ number of queries (link)
What’s the right code then?

This didn’t work:
Sorry for asking again – but I stil don’t quite get it.
Pls help me out

<?php $featured = new WP_query("cat=2&showposts=1&orderby=rand"); ?>

What’s wrong with this query?

Sorry for the stupidity – but I stil don’t quite get it.
Req you to help me out ??
<?php $featured = new WP_query("cat=2&showposts=1&orderby=rand"); ?>

What’s wrong with this?

I am running this query
<?php $featured = new WP_query("cat=11&showposts=1&orderby=rand"); ?>
and somehow it fetches only the first post (in that category).

Any idea how to resolve this?
PS: I am running the latest wp version

Can anybody help me with this? I checked Firebug and for some stupid reason, “element.style: display: none” is being added in the posthead div tag. here is the code:`<div class=”SC”>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class=”Post” style=”padding-bottom: 50px;”>

<div class=”PostHead”>

<h1 class=”title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

<p class=”PostDate”>
<strong class=”day”><?php the_time(‘d’); ?>
<strong class=”month”><?php the_time(‘M’); ?>
</p>
<p class=”PostInfo”>Author: <?php the_author() ?>. Category: <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?>
     </p>
‘

Here is an e.g. :
https://www.pluggd.in/2008/05/anatomy-of-a-good-business-plan-combination-of-strategic-operational-and-tactical-plans#more-1515

doesn’t shows the post title,
while
https://www.pluggd.in/2008/05/anatomy-of-a-good-business-plan-combination-of-strategic-operational-and-tactical-plans
works fine.

I am just trying to figure out how to get past this issue.
Any help s highly appreciated.

Thanks for the info about ACE. Solves the query

Simon – sorry about the confusion. I am specifically referring to tdo-mini-forms plugin.
I want the o/p of that plugin to be published in a category page.

Any help?suggestion?

Let me clarify – I want the output of this plugin to not be displayed on the main page, and instead on a category page.
So I belive the change needs to happen in the plugin code..Right?

Issue resolved – here is what I did.
Upgraded to the latest contactform plugin, deactived “Simple Trackback Validation” plugin and it worked.

I believe, it was more to do with contactform plugin.

well..I have been running the mod_security since the last 6 months..but never faced this issue.

any other possibility?
