# Nesting comments problems

 * Hi!
 * Since I have updated wordpress to 3.8, nesting of the comments stopped working.
   If nesting is enabled the comments just go more and more to the right (to the
   point when there is just a vertical narrow strip) even though the comment is 
   not a reply to the previous one. I updated the theme too. An example can be seen
   [here](http://www.lolabuland.com/2013/11/25/extreme-sand-agility/)
 * Can anyone help?
 * Thanks!

 * I just found out that my problem disappears if I change the theme, so it looks
   like there is a bug in the theme.
    Since I would not like to change to another
   theme I still would very much like some help. I uninstalled and reinstalled the
   tarski theme with no success. thanks

 * I have the same issue. I updated the tarski theme to the latest version (3.2.0)
   but it did not solve the problem. I see that the theme hasn’t been updated in
   more than a year, which could explain. It could be a simple problem, I will dig
   in the code and report if I find anything

 * This change in the WordPress repository is what introduced the problem:
    [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/commit/808653e2a3695314c066057572126729ce4d2026#diff-3db08a6b98155b349c93a220bc903dce](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/commit/808653e2a3695314c066057572126729ce4d2026#diff-3db08a6b98155b349c93a220bc903dce)
 * It’s a matter of replacing the “echo” calls with $output=… in the tarski comment_walker.
   php file. I have a patch which seems to fix the issue for me.
 * How to:
    1) Download my file at [http://wololo.net/files2/comment_walker.txt](http://wololo.net/files2/comment_walker.txt)
   2) rename the file into comment_walker.php 3) replace the tarski file (wp-content/
   themes/tarski/library/classes/comment_walker.php) with mine (make sure to have
   a backup just in case!!!) 4) Done!
