text not wrapping around image

    i have a new site. instead of wrapping the text, words just break right in the middle and finish on the next line. i found what i thought was a solution, but after over an hour of searching for wherever the .SCS img {} was, i gave up. please, if anyone can help, i would appreciate it.

    please keep in mind i am a novice, so just telling me to code something or locate something without telling me how/where will not help. i would really appreciate it.

    here is the site so you can see what i mean

    i notice on my other two sites, when i put the text in for a new article, it goes all the way from one edge to another in the content box. however, in the new site, it starts a new line after going just over half way. not sure if this is the issue, or why that happens, but it might be something

    Looks like that’s CSS specific to your theme:

    .post_content p {
    word-break: break-all;
    word-wrap: break-word;
}

    So you can change that by adding custom CSS – if your theme does not have a custom CSS option, add it via a plugin – then add this code there:

    .post_content p {
    word-break: normal;
    word-wrap: normal;
}

    thanks. i can edit the css, but where would i put what you said to put in? as in where in all of that css mess?

    If you modify the theme files, your changes will be overwritten and lost when the theme is updated. So that’s not a good idea.

    wait, so i just changed it to what you said, but if there is a theme update, it will go back to what it was? so is there a way to permanently fix it?

    Yes, use the custom CSS plugin as I suggested above :).

    ok, i did that. thanks a lot.

    Excellent – so now if you want to make other CSS changes, you’re all set! And you’re welcome too :).
