  Hi Barbara,

  If your theme includes code to automatically add hyphenation at the ends of lines, the only way to override that is using custom CSS code on our Premium Plan or higher, yes.

  Hi,

  Thank you for your reply. I looked at code editor, but it seems to me I cannot make any changes there.

  <!– wp:paragraph {“fontSize”:”normal”,”style”:{“typography”:{“lineHeight”:1.6}}} –>

  Hi Barbara,

  Thank you for providing additional info.

  code to automatically add hyphenation as @kokkieh mentioned is not the same as code is code editor. Code editor where you have copied the above snippet adjusts HTML of the page content only. While CSS code of the Theme is responsible for the appearance of the content in browser.

  If you do not have Premium plan or higher, you can still look for another theme that does not have auto-hyphenation.
  Or the other way would be to add some code into every paragraph on your website:
  Normally paragraph looks like this:

  <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  <p>text goes here</p>
  <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

  You have to add in Code Editor this: style="word-wrap:normal;-webkit-hyphens:none;-moz-hyphens:none;hyphens:none;"

  To be like this at the end:

  <!-- wp:paragraph -->
  <p style="word-wrap:normal;-webkit-hyphens:none;-moz-hyphens:none;hyphens:none;">text goes here</p>
  <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

  Hope that helps.

  Right, as @kokkieh wrote above, if that styling comes directly from the theme, you’d need to use custom CSS code to overwrite that.

  This would require plan Premium or higher:
