Twenty Twelve: Word-Break Issues

to start with: don’t copy all styles from Twenty Twelve into style.css of the child theme; that is what this line does: @import url("../twentytwelve/style.css");

only add styles to overwrite what you want to change.

to stop the breaking of the words, add:

.site-content article {
	word-wrap: normal;
}

ps:
for the sidebar, there is another style – add also:

.widget-area .widget
{
  word-wrap: normal;
}

and do not forget to clear the browser cache if you want to see changes to the styles immediately – press ‘reload’ (sometimes needs more than one reload) or press ‘ctrl f5’ …

if this does not work:

please post a link and point to a particular word.

what browser are you using?

you are right – I didn’t check the original css;

expand the styles to:

.site-content article {
	word-wrap: normal;
-webkit-hyphens: none;
	-moz-hyphens: none;
	hyphens: none;
}

.widget-area .widget
{
  word-wrap: normal;
-webkit-hyphens: none;
	-moz-hyphens: none;
	hyphens: none;
}

Pander, you can ask this in the Requests and Feedback forum.

Thanks Michael, your help is much appreciated.

Thanks Alch.

It seems that this works for pages, but my posts are still showing word-breaks. Do you know what to do?
