These days I’d recommend looking at a Flex or Grid layout as that could help. If you’re stuck with the HTML that you’ve got in the theme now, it’s going to be messy… * Thread Starter [sholis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sholis/) * (@sholis) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-cut/#post-13995346) * Thanks a lot [@catacaustic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catacaustic/) i just updated with the css but no effect.. here is a page with text cut [https://oviebrumefoundation.org/en/staff/](https://oviebrumefoundation.org/en/staff/) * many thanks - This reply was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by [sholis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sholis/). * Thread Starter [sholis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sholis/) * (@sholis) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-cut/#post-13995348) * [@guru985](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guru985/) here is my URL [https://oviebrumefoundation.org/en/](https://oviebrumefoundation.org/en/) many thanks * [catacaustic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catacaustic/) * (@catacaustic) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-cut/#post-13995509) * It looks like you just copy-and-pasted that in. That’s not right. You need to update the value for word-wrap before you do that. * [https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_word-wrap.asp](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_word-wrap.asp) * Something like this possibly… * ``` .entry-content, .entry-summary, .page-content, .comment-content { word-wrap: normal; } ``` * [guru985](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guru985/) * (@guru985) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-cut/#post-13995687) * Hi sholis, * Please add this code in your css file.

On your site it still uses this rule: * ``` .entry-content, .entry-summary, .page-content, .comment-content { -moz-hyphens: auto; hyphens: auto; word-wrap: break-word; } ``` * As I said above, that’s the wrong definition for that style, so you need to change that to the right style rules for it to work. * If your site uses some sort of caching, make sure that you empty the cache. If not, check where you added your new CSS, because it’s not in the right place. * Thread Starter [sholis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sholis/) * (@sholis) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-cut/#post-14016993) * [@guru985](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guru985/) thanks for the support. i am still not able to solve the problem thanks * [catacaustic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catacaustic/) * (@catacaustic) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-cut/#post-14017003) * So what have you actually done? * What I’ve told you is almost step-by-step on how to fix it and what needs to be changed. If you can’t get that to work I’d probably suggest looking at some of the freelancer websites to see if you can hire someone to help with this. * Thread Starter [sholis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sholis/) * (@sholis) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-cut/#post-14017516) * [@catacaustic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catacaustic/) its fixed. I guess i didn’t clear my cache to reflect the changes Thanks a million for the support. - This reply was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by [sholis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sholis/).
