  Working on a wordpress-theme conversion for a client's blog.

  I'm trying to get the comments for a post to show up in the sidebar instead of in the single.php. I've implemented the comments in the sidebar of other themes before so I know it's possible.

  In sidebar.php I've used:
  <?php comments_template(); ?>

  It calls the comment and comment-form correctly, but when you try to submit a comment from the sidebar you get redirected to a blank wp-comments-post.php and the comment is not posted...

  When I call the comments in the single.php, everything works just fine.

  I've been looking for hours for a way to fix it...

  If anyone has an idea, hint or sollution...
  Much appreciated.

  Update:

  Threaded comments seem to be working in the sidebar. I can reply to already made comments there. But if I want to post a new comment from the comment-form in the sidebar: still the blank wp-comments-post.php.

  It must have something to do with the post- or comment-id I presume...

  Update: Found out that it is indeed an ID problem... When I put the comment-form in the sidebar it doesn't seem the find the comment_post_ID.

  Still looking to fix that...
