    I’m *really* uncomfortable messing with CSS (and have goofed things up badly trying to do that before). I’d give my eyeteeth if someone can tell me I don’t have to mess with the CSS to do this one simple little thing.

    All I want to do is get rid of the random end-of-line hyphens in the body copy of my posts and pages in Twenty-Thirteen. So that it keeps whole words together on one line. That’s *all* I want to do. Please tell me that somewhere in all of the dashboard there’s a place I can just click to get rid of the hyphenation. Gods know everything else is there [wry g].

    Thanks!

  • Unfortunately, that capability does not exist outside of changing the CSS. But, that is very easy to do.

    1. Install and activate the Simple Custom CSS plugin.
    2. Paste in the CSS found in this topic.
    3. Click ‘Update Custom CSS’.

    I learned the hard, hard way not to *ever* touch WordPress’s CSS. It took me *forever* to unmess up what I’d done the first time I tried.

    I just don’t understand why something so basic isn’t a choice in the Dashboard somewhere.

    One huge advantage of the plugin for CSS is that you can always just deactivate the plugin if you make a mistake you can’t otherwise fix.

    Enabling and disabling hyphenation should be a setting in wp-admin/options-reading.php which is set by default to none. Can this feature please get implemented?

    @pander, That’s not really how open source projects work.
