 * So far, so good!
 * Now I am trying to make it so that only manual hyphens show. I tried this at 
   the theme level but it had no effect on the testimonials so I have moved onto
   the plugin CSS.
 * In the Misc Visual section I tried adding (one at a time)
 *     ```
       .testimonial {hyphens: manual; }
       div .testimonial {hyphens: manual; }
       .hms-testimonial-container .testimonial { hyphens: manual; }
       ```
   
 * None of these have had any effect.
 * Can you set me straight on this?
    Thank you

 * Can you point to me where hyphens are on your page that aren’t manual? Also hyphens
   is not supported in all browsers to include the latest Chrome.

 * Jeff, they are in the testimonials, especially when they show in the sidebar.

 * Ah ok, they showed up when using Firefox.
 * `.widget-area .widget .testimonial { hyphens:manual; -moz-hyphens:manual; }`
 * If that doesn’t work, line 1563 of your themes style.css you can change -moz-
   hyphens: auto to -mox-hyphens: manual

 * Sadly, I have tried both options, and neither has made a difference. Is there
   anything else you can suggest? I have someone else complaining about hyphens 
   and can tell I’m going to have to become more familiar with solving this! thank
   you

 * Odd,
 * When I added it via Firebug or the Firefox inspector it seems to work. Also, 
   I don’t see that css above on your site.
