Comments being saved to wrong post… wp_reset_postdata?

Hi all,

I’m having a problem whereby each time I post a test comment, it is always being saved to the very first post.

The code below is taken from the ‘single.php’. In the first chunk, I want to retrieve the latest post. Then in the second chunk, I want to show a list of the 5 most recent blogs excluding the most recent (already displaying on the page).

I have tried resetting the $post variable by assigning it to a temporary variable before the ‘foreach’ loop. I also used ‘wp_reset_postdata’… but the problem still occurs.

The code for the latest post:

<?php if (have_posts()) :
   while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   global $more;
   $more = 1;
?>

The code for the 5 most recent posts (excluding that already displayed):

<?php
   global $post;
   $tmp = $post;
   $args = array( 'numberposts' => 5, 'offset' => 1 );
   $myposts = get_posts( $args );
   foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
      <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><span class="a_recent"><?php the_title(); ?><br /><span class="small"><?php the_time('D j M, 'y'); ?></span></span></a></li>
   <?php endforeach;
   $post = $tmp;
   wp_reset_postdata();
 ?>

Then I include the comments:

<?php
   $withcomments = 1;
   comments_template();
?>

I used an echo statement to check the value of the $post and it returns the correct number, so I think that the variable is being reset correctly, but somehow the comments are being sent to the wrong place?

<?php echo '<p>'.get_the_ID().'</p>'; ?>
^Shows the correct post number

Anyone have any ideas, or advice?

Many thanks in advance
