  Hi
  The best way to explain is to show my code :

  <?php
  if (have_posts()) :
  $c = 0; while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $c++;
  if ( $c == 1) {
  $style = “current first”;
  }
  elseif ( $c == count( $posts ) ) {
  $style = “last”; } /*
  elseif ( $c == 2 ) {
  $style = “”; }*/

  else $style =’dispa’;

  ?><?php
  $images =& get_children( array (
  ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID,
  ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’

  ));
  foreach ( $images as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {

  ?><div <?php post_class($style) ?>id =”post_<?php echo $post->ID;?>”><?php echo wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, ‘large’ ); }

  ?><div <?php post_class(‘mezzanine ‘ . $style) ?>><?php $description = $attachment->post_content;
  echo $description;
  ?></div></div><?php
  endwhile;
  wp_reset_postdata();
  else :
  echo wpautop( ‘Sorry, no posts were found’ );
  endif;
  ?>

  The result of this is to show the attachement link to the post.
  I want to show the posts in random order but adding the ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’ function is not helping.
  Does anyone could help me with this?
  Thank you in advance
