Link underline not removing and word wrapping not working

  • I’m using Twenty Fifteen child theme. I tried to remove underlines from the links by using this css: a {text-decoration: none;} but it’s not working.

    Another problem is, the last word of the line not going to the next line. Some characters stay in the line and there comes a hyphen. And then rest characters goes to the next line. I tried many ways to text wrapping.

    After changing in CSS, I clear the browser and website cache. Even I waited 24 hours. But no changes. Please help me to solve both problems.

    I attached a screenshot to showing the both underline and wrapping problem to understand clearly.

    Thank you.

    Hi there,

    That doesn’t work because they oddly added it as a border (not as text-decoration). I’m not sure why they did it, but it was almost 10 years ago.

    .entry-content a, .entry-summary a, .page-content a, .comment-content a, .pingback .comment-body > a {
    border-bottom: 0px;
}

    It is possible that removing this underline/border could bring some accessibility issues, so keep this in mind while doing that.

    Thanks for the reply. Finally it works!

    But what about the word wrapping problem? I also need that solution too.

    I got so focused on the text-decoration issue that forgot your other request, sorry! ??

    Do you mean to basically not add the hyphens and have the word going fully to the following line?

    If so, this should help:

    p, address, pre, hr, ul, ol, dl, dd, table {
    hyphens: manual;
}

    Thanks for reply. But the hyphens still showing.

    Hey @masumokia! Can you try the following css and see if this works?

    p, address, pre, hr, ul, ol, dl, dd, table {
  hyphens: none;
}

    Hi @masumokia – could you please share a link to a page where you see this still happening – and we can try some things out on the actual site?
