The problem is that if <code>get_the_category()</code> returns more than one, it will be in an array. Read <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_the_category" rel="nofollow">WordPress Codex: get_the_category</a> for more code and information. @Naseer – you could do something like this: $test_cat = get_the_category();.

But you can not apply it without thinking. @joe, you said that you do query_posts(’cat=7&showposts=1&orderby=rand’); The order in the query_posts matters. So what you do in there is 1st you choose all the posts from a certain category (7) then from all those post you choose just one by the default order which is by date, so you get the last post. After this you do random form one post which will always be 1 Thank you @zayn for your hint. I used your idea of just 2 word instead of a script with many many lines. A BIG thank you! @zayn’s method is very good.
