Changes?

    I don’t understand why my blog is suddenly hyphenating again. It took me forever to figure out how to stop it from doing that. Now it’s doing it again. Is it the update? Can’t coders figure out a way to make this easier? I can’t believe I’m the only one.

    Also, I posted a few weeks ago that the changes I made to my format won’t take. I’m trying to change the blog from showing the whole post, to showing a summary.

    Any suggestions?

    I don’t understand why my blog is suddenly hyphenating again.

    We don’t understand why it was doing it in the first place. This could be a theme issue, a plugin issue, or something else entirely.

    Is it the update?

    The update to what? WordPress has certainly updated in the last six months, but your theme, your plugins, even the version of PHP you’re using could all also have updated.

    Can’t coders figure out a way to make this easier?

    What research have you done to resolve this? Have you read the Codex? Have you searched the forum? Have you used the Google? (Look what happens when I Google “WordPress Hyphenation“.) Please keep in mind that WordPress is free, the themes and plugins offered here at wordpress.org are free, the help you receive from the Codex and forum are free, created and maintained by volunteers working on their own time.

    I can’t believe I’m the only one.

    I can. Unless you are running identical installs of WordPress and its themes and plugins on the same server, with exactly the same settings, every installation of WordPress is unique.

    Any suggestions?

    Yes, many. You can start by providing a link to your site, so that we can look for ourselves. Your mechanic and your doctor won’t provide a diagnosis over the phone for a good reason. We have the same reason.

    You can also tell us what plugins you are using, what version of WP you are using, and ensuring that your theme and plugins are all up to date. It would be helpful to know what strategies you have already tried, so that we don’t recommend something you’ve already tried twelve times.

    Failing that, here is a list of general troubleshooting strategies:

    Off topic for a minute: kjodle? Thanks for the support but instead of sending members to your site could you keep it in the forum please?

    I looked on the forums and could not find any help, so I Googled it and found a link that told me how to change it in the code. It was a royal pain, but it worked. My site is http://www.BethDavid.net/blog No need to get snippy. It didn’t occur to me to provide my site, because I thought it was a problem others were also having and would have a general fix-it. I didn’t quite think of it as a physical.

    Everything is up to date on the site. I’m using: WordPress 3.9.1 running Twenty Twelve theme.

    so that the edits do not get lost with the next upgrade of your theme, consider to use a ‘custom CSS’ plugin, and add this into the custom CSS:

    body * { -webkit-hyphens: none;
	-moz-hyphens: none;
	hyphens: none;
	word-wrap: normal; }

    clear the browser cache after you have saved the styles (‘reload’ing your page a few times should do)

    not widely tested; if your problems persist, please post again (keep the changes until somebody had the chance to check them)

    Okay, alchymyth, I’ll try to figure that out.

    I wish someone would make it default to no hyphens, or figure out a quick way to make it a preference in settings.

    Thanks,
