 * I would like to add a script to my blog, but w/o change the template codex (which
   will put me in trouble when updating).
 * Is it possible -some how – to put this code directly into the post?
    ([http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts))
 * Thanks for any suggestions

 * You can put php in a post by using a plugin like this one:

 * thanks a lot!
    btw, do you know php code? I’ve tried to use the bellow code to
   display a random post, from my category “category | test”, in a static page, 
   on the front page but it returns a fatal error
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 52428800 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   35 bytes) in /var/www/testserver/test/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 385
 * <?php
    $rand_posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=1&offset=1& category_name=category
   | test&orderby=rand’); foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) : ?> <div class=”body”
   > <?php the_excerpt(); ?></div> <?php endforeach; ?>
 * Do you know what’s wrong?
    Thanks for any suggestions!
