hyphenation

Hello
I am just wondering how I can turn off hyphenation on a page in the twenty thirteen theme.
Thanks

I’m not quite sure what you mean by ‘turning off hyphenation’?
What is happening that you’d like to change?

Thanks for your response. Perhaps it is the theme I am using, but it is choosing to use a hyphen to split words at the end of the line, rather than taking the word that doesn’t fit down to the next line. Since posting my question, I have actually come up with a rudimentary solution using soft returns.
-
Ohhhh! Thanks for explaining :)
Yeah – it must be theme specific, because it doesn’t happen on my blog (I think I’m using the Penscratch theme).Soft returns are a good workaround for the meantime, but hopefully someone will be able to chime in here with the CSS code you’ll need to customize your theme. I don’t code, unfortunately!

Thanks, I am just new to this, I’m not sure I’d know what to do with a code as yet! Something to look into in the future.

Don’t worry, there’s some super clever people in the forums! They’ll often write the code for you, and you just copy/paste it (they tell you where) and it magically fixes your problems! They’re like blog genies!
Unfortunately, I’m not one of them :-/
But I thought if your question was clearer, it might coax them out of hiding, so I commented anyway :) -
I did a bit of online searching for you and found the code you need!
You just need to copy/paste this into your css.
.site-content article {
word-wrap: normal;
-webkit-hyphens: none;
-moz-hyphens: none;
hyphens: none;
}.widget-area .widget {
-webkit-hyphens: none;
-moz-hyphens: none;
hyphens: none;
word-wrap: normal;
}Make sure you copy/paste that exactly (including the curly brackets).

To access your CSS, go to your WP Admin toolbar (the black one). Choose “Appearance” then choose “Customize” then “CSS”.
Add the above code into your the CSS thingy (don’t delete anything that’s there, just add the code).
See how that goes?

I hope it works! Report back here if it does or doesn’t – that way the next person with this problem can follow along :)
