  Chrome auto-hyphenates the text on all of my pages, and it distorts the readability. Could we add CSS to my blog to correct this?

  Thank you!

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

  Aloha, Aaron, go to Customize > CSS, delete all the informational text in that window, and paste in the following custom CSS to disable hyphenation in the content area on your site.

  .entry-content, .entry-summary, .page-content {
    hyphens: none !important;
  }

  Thank you! One problem: I have not upgraded to customize the CSS. Is there a way someone on the support staff can do this for me?

  Hi, it would require a change to the theme files themselves, and since this is a multiuser platform where we all share the same base theme and WordPress core files, making that change for you would make it for everyone, and that always has the potential of making other users grumpy. Custom CSS is the only option.
