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

    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

    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 https://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!
