  How do I stop the twenty sixteen theme from hyphenating blog post titles. I can’t get the title section to make a line break without hyphenating the last word of my title.

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

  I’m new at this, so I’ve just been changing my post titles to make them fit. But surely there is a way to fix this.

  Hi there, that is built into the theme, and there is no setting to turn that off. It can be done with custom CSS, but that is a feature in the WordPress.com Premium and Business plans.

  If you should decide to upgrade, this would be the custom CSS required to turn off hyphenation on the titles. You would go to Customize > CSS, delete all the informational text in that window, and paste in the following.

  .post-navigation .post-title, .entry-title, .comments-title {
      -moz-hyphens: none;
      hyphens: none;
  }

  Hey, my titles move to the bottom instead of being at the top.
