  Is there a way to turn off the automatic word splitting (hyphenation) that’s happening irregularly with my text? I find it distracting to read and don’t see a way to control it, besides spending lots of time adding and removing words to see how the splits change. I’m using the McKinley theme.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  So this is actually determined by the browser. For example in Safari/Firefox you can view the hyphenation as seen here:

  

  and

  

  However, in Chrome this is not the case as seen here:

  

  There is a way to remove this via CSS, but you will need to purchase the Custom Design upgrade for $30/year. With this theme you can apply custom fonts/colors and edit CSS, which is what you would need.

  If you think that this is a good upgrade for you let me know and I can help you with the code to remove the hyphenation.

  Cheers!

  Hi there,

  You can get a good idea of what people see in other browsers using a tool like BrowserStack. Here’s a screenshot of what your site looks like to someone using IE 11 on Windows 7:

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)
