You have the same url pointing to different views - 'post/<int:pk>/' - in
what you pasted - that's a problem, in the best case only one will be used,
don't know which. On the other hand, the error is complaining that what it
could resolve has a non-optional id parameter - /post/random/<int:id>/ -
which you are not passing (probably a "{% url 'random_post' %}"). Remove
the <id> from the pattern or add it to the url template tag if you need it.
And you probably need to clean up and fix your urls.py... :)
