remove hyphens from text in 4.1

  • Hi all, I have just started my blog with very little experience. When I publish my posts, I get hyphens if a word is too long to fit on one line, the rest of the word appears on the line below ? Like this in bold

    “I remember the Blackshirts” It is funny how the quirk-
    iest     of statements

    How can I resolve this please ?

    Hi martcol, many thanks for your help, I do appreciate it. It`s all a bit above my head at the moment, plenty of study needed I think. I changed my theme, that has done the trick for now. Kind regards

    OK. Glad you got it fixed. Hope the new theme suits you.

    I am also having a problem with auto hyphenation of words. I found this response in an earlier post:
    .site-content article {
    border-bottom: 4px double #ededed;
    margin-bottom: 72px;
    margin-bottom: 5.142857143rem;
    padding-bottom: 24px;
    padding-bottom: 1.714285714rem;
    word-wrap: break-word;
    -webkit-hyphens: auto;
    -moz-hyphens: auto;
    hyphens: auto;
    }

    change auto to none. I did that but I’m still getting hyphenated words. I was using TinyMCE editor so deactivated and that made no difference. I also tried changing
    word-wrap: break-word;
    to
    word-wrap: normal;

    Is there some other way to turn off hyphens?

    Thanks,
    Linda

    @linda – CSS is generally theme and site specific, so finding some code someplace may or may not work on your site. I’d suggest starting your own thread and posting a link to your site.

    I’m sorry – I have to admit that I’m not really sure how to start my own thread. I’m using the twenty-thirteen theme and I found the classes that were referred to in the previous post in the twenty-thirteen css file. I used Custom CSS to override the theme’s css file. Is there a forum specifically for the twenty-thirteen theme?

    Yep, no problem – right here:

    Scroll to the bottom of that forum to start a new thread there. Include a link to your site too.

    Why has this not been resolved. This is the thing I can’t stand about the WP developers, they don’t LISTEN to anyone. No one wants all their words hyphenated. People have been complaining about this forever, and yet they don’t give a crap. Provide a preference to turn this crap off already, and then make it off by default, because no one wants it. Lazy, lazy, lazy developers.
