Okay, I see what you mean.
The issue here is that this theme doesn’t support automatic hyphenation of words, but we can fix this with some CSS. Add this in Additional CSS in the Customizer:
/* Add hyphenation for long words in post
* titles on front page post thumbnails
* and in the single-post view.
*/
h1.entry-title, h2.entry-title {
-webkit-hyphens: auto;
-moz-hyphens: auto;
hyphens: auto;
}
I tested this with the word meervoudigepersoonlijkheidsstoornissen
in a title, and it worked fine:
There are two caveats to this, though:
1) The site must be set to the language in question. So Dutch text will only be hyphenated properly is the site language is set to Dutch.
2) An appropriate hyphenation dictionary must be available in the browser that’s being used to view your site. So depending on the browser a visitor to your site is using, results may vary.
These are limitations of the code itself, and not something we can address from the theme’s end.
You can also set the value for hyphens to manual
, and then you can include special characters in your titles at suitable points where the word can be cut off. That would allow you to use different languages (like Italian pasta names), and still have them hyphenated correctly.
