Is it possible for me to put the 'comments' button on the post as it is shown on custom pages? And for the comments to show on that post also?

The comments only work on posts. They wont work on custom pages.

Is there no way to get them to work on custom pages or would it require a whole new plugin?

It would require a whole new plugin because the way the data currently is saved is per post. Pages don't have posts so the data can't be saved in that way.

The widget works showing the recent threads or posts as selected, for reference:

Holy sieve batman. The key data is present on the custom pages when using the widget! That must have fallen through the cracks. I'll make some changes on it today and get back to you blitzen

That was my next idea. If a widget loads the thread on a page, then the thread key must also be there.
I was really confused on how the recently updated threads widget was added. I never mess with backend stuff. Other than the plugin I made for Boy_Wonder coincidentally for the widget.

I was just checking it out and I hit a rather large snag. It appears that the post ID is no where to be found on the recent posts in the widget, meaning the key and data are there, I just can't access them 

Using pb.plugin.key('postComments').get(57) in the console works fine, the comments are there, but without getting the ID off the post directly means it won't be possible to show them.

The top post "nibh" is the one containing the comments. It has a post ID of 22 but that is no where on the page.

qtest.boards.net/page/recent-posts

pb.plugin.key('postComments').get(22);

$('.widget-recent-thread-title>a').attr('class').split(' ')[1].replace('thread-','')
That gets the thread id

Post Comments are stored in the post key though. I would need the post ID.
