Word break of sentences

What style.css are you modifying? If it’s with WordPress core files then, yes all of your changes will get lost. That’s by design, don’t modify those files.

If it is with a theme then don’t modify that style.css either. Create and activate a child theme, that way your edits will not be lost.

So which file is it and where is it located?

Hi Jan, thanks for replying. Let me put it this way. I’d like a standard tick box (maybe under settings) whereby I can switch word break on or off. This is my request for a future change to WordPress.

I think that’s unlikely that that check box will be implemented. That function is covered by CSS.

Sorry Jan, but what you’re saying doesn’t make sense to me. It sounds to me like you’re saying that if it’s covered by CSS, you don’t need to create functions for it. So why create themes then? They’re covered by CSS.

One of the core functions of WordPress is to show language. The basic markup stuff – like strong and italics – are covered. I’ve been using WordPress since 2007 back when it was still version 1. I had to do a lot by hand back then. Everytime I had to do a new install of WordPress I needed to think about the word break. Because word break and the Dutch language don’t work. I think word break is so basic it should be added to the general settings.
