Yeah,
I checked it and reverted back to old build ??

Problem resolved.i was not aware of the proper word-press architecture. I removed the
<?php wp_footer() ?>
from my footer.php which was causing the problem

just to edit i have added following code

<?php  $category_ids = remove_element(get_all_category_ids(),'274');
     if (in_category($category_ids)) { ?>

this code is not working but if i pass a single category id to in_category() function like

<?php
         if (in_category('8')) { ?>

if block is working fine.i am clueless what is going wrong Thanks in advance

i tried this code

<?php
            $args1 = array( 'numberposts' => 12 ,'orderby' => 'rand');
            global $post;
            //save the current post
            $temp=$post;
            $rand_posts1 = get_posts( $args1);

            foreach( $rand_posts1 as $post ) ://yes this is required, we need $post in setup_postdata
                setup_postdata($post);    ?>
                <?php the_title(); ?>

            <?php endforeach; 

            $post=$temp;//restore current page

            ?>

it worked smoothly.

Thanks for the quick reply and it helped me a lot.
i have to fetch 12 posts so that i can display them in template so is there any way to fetch 12 unique random posts in word-press with help of any query?

Thanks for the reply.as new to the platform i even tried this code of piece

<?php
    args1 = array( 'numberposts' => 12 ,'orderby' => 'rand', 'category' => '7,8');
    $rand_posts1 = get_posts( $args1);
            foreach( $rand_posts1 as $randpost1 ) : ?>
                <?php the_title(); ?>
                     <?php endforeach; ?>

even specifying the category its still showing the same post the latest one in the blog all 12 times
