   I'm trying to get working comments of my custom page using php scripted template (which do some math calculations).

   Somehow I managed to make it work for a moment, but by editing my script more and more I've crashed comments to the point where I have no idea how to fix it.
   The problem is very simple - in comments part of page I have:
   

   <!-- commenting_data -->
   <p><textarea name="comment" id="comment_text" tabindex="4"></textarea></p>
   
   <p><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit Comment" />
   <input type='hidden' name='comment_post_ID' value='' id='comment_post_ID' />
   <input type='hidden' name='comment_parent' id='comment_parent' value='0' />

   - so the value of comment_post_ID is missing.
   I have no idea how to set it up, or how it got removed - especially because I don't use variable $comment_post_ID anywhere in my script, nor am manipulating the $_POST data.

   The php code in wp-comments-post.php throws an error in this part of code:
   

   if ( empty($status->comment_status) ) {
   	do_action('comment_id_not_found', $comment_post_ID);
           echo "comment_id_not_found";
           exit;
   }

   (added echo instruction to find out an error)

   Anyone might have an idea how to restore comment_post_ID? Or how to set it up again, or how to bypass the problem?

   the value should be <?php echo $id; ?>

   it's empty... after setting it to ID of my post I had Invalid Data: Please go back and try again. error.
   So... WP Captcha Free is spoiling the code now.
   Any ideas how to fix it without disabling the plugin?

   The list of plugins I have (might help?) :

   Collapsing Categories 0.6.3
   Evermore 2.2
   Get Recent Comments 2.0.5
   Google Analytics for WordPress 2.9.1
   List Subpages 1.0
   My Custom Widgets 1.8.1
   Robots Meta 3.0.11
   Subscribe To Comments 2.1.2
   WP-PostRatings 1.40
   WP Captcha Free 0.5

   BTW, should $id be set to page ID or not? I got confused a bit.

   Exactly the same for me. The function "comment_id_fields()" return always an empty value for the field comment_post_ID.

   Resolved. Check the call of comments_template(), it must be inside the post loop to work properly:

   while ( have_posts() ) { must be here }

   Well - it wasn't entirely true for me.
   But the idea was great :D

   Here is the code I used to put Comments into my fully customized template page:

   <div>Here is the template</div>
   
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();  comments_template();  endwhile; endif; ?>
   
   <div>and here is the stuff after the template</div>

   I recently have the same error and found this page.
   I find the problem was not the loop, you can put the comment form anywhere you like but remember to put the_post(); somewhere before your form. Usually right after if ( comments_open() ) :

   so it become

   <?php if ( comments_open() ) : the_post(); ?>
   Your form
   <?php endif; ?>

   preaxz, you are a star my friend.
   I was experiencing the white screen of death with comments on a template page after submitting the form. You're solution seems to work just fine.
