WordPress.com Twenty Fourteen Theme – Disable Hyphenation

Overview

Automatic hyphenation is enabled by default for the Twenty Fourteen WordPress Theme for WordPress.com hosted websites.

If you’ve paid for the ability to customize your website ($30 a year), it’s possible to disable this feature in the CSS Customization window.

If you’re self hosting, then you can add the JetPack plug-in and connect it to a free WordPress.com account.

Instructions

1. From within your WordPress Dashboard, choose Appearance > Customize.
2. Choose Custom Design
3. From the CSS menu option, enter the following below the existing information. You can also copy and paste it in. This should turn off hyphenation throughout the site.

/* Turn off hyphenation */

-moz-hyphens: none;
-ms-hyphens: none;
-webkit-hyphens: none;
hyphens: none;
word-wrap: normal;
}
