WP_Query timing out.

    On my single post, I am trying to add 6 additional images after the post which are in the same category. I created the query below which does return 6 random images from the same category as the post.

    However, for some reason the query is stuck in some type of infinite loop and eventually times out.

    Can anyone tell me what is going on with this query which would cause it to time out?

    $the_query = new WP_Query( array (
        'category_name'=>$category[0]->cat_name,
        'posts_per_page'=>'6',
        'post__not_in' =>array( $post->ID),
        'orderby' => 'rand'));
while ( have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
    the_post_thumbnail('random-6', array('class' => 'random-six'));
endwhile;

    Thanks!!

    I got it figured out.
    I needed to add $the_query-> just before the have_posts.

    so the whole working code is as follows.

    $the_query = new WP_Query( array (
        'category_name'=>$category[0]->cat_name,
        'posts_per_page'=>'6',
        'post__not_in' =>array( $post->ID),
        'orderby' => 'rand'));
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
    the_post_thumbnail('random-6', array('class' => 'random-six'));
endwhile;
