 * After upgrading to WordPress 3.8, the threading (nesting) of the comments stopped
   working. In the Setting the “Threaded – nested – comments” are enabled. But on
   the blog they just move more and more to the right, even if they a new comment(
   not a reply to the previous comment).
    The theme is Tarski, not updated for awhile,
   since I do not want to go through the hassle of customizing the page again. Do
   you think this might be the problem. The page is lolabuland.com
 * thanks for your help

 * It’s probably an issue with your theme. When you customize you should do it in
   a child theme. That way you don’t have to worry about updates overwriting your
   changes.

 * Hi.
 * What exactly does “child theme” mean? If I copy style.css from the old theme 
   and copy it into the new one – will it work?
 * Thanks so much for your reply.
 * EDIT: I updated my theme but the problem remains. The comments do not thread 
   properly. Any suggestions?

 * Anybody? I really don’t know what to do. Is there a way to downgrade to WordPress
   3.7.1?

 * Me too: same problem after going to 3.8.
    Mine is a custom self-made theme, always
   worked right till now. I found solutione here: [http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=5538](http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=5538)
   It was occuring due to WP-Minify plugin. I have deactivated it now & threaded
   comment is working well.
