Words in posts and pages get cut in the middle after upgrading to 4.9.1

Question:

I was running WordPress 3.4.1 before and recently upgraded to 4.9.1.

Now words (either in the title or body of a post or a page) will get cut in the middle when they reach the line width. So “Lexington” would be cut as “Lexin” in the right and the next line starts with “gton”. “Sunday” in a title ends with “Sund” and “ay” starts the next line.

Looked around all settings and didn’t find anything related to this issue.

Thanks for the help!

Answer:

I strongly believe it’s not a WordPress issue, but a theme issue. To fix this, you can force the word to do not brek in your site adding the following code in your CSS file (style.css). You can find the style.css file under Appearance -> Editor.

Then select your theme and find the style.css file. Add the code there and it will hopefully fix your website.

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p {
    word-break: normal;
}

Please do let me know if I can help you with anything else.
