How to remove hyphens in Squarespace
Hands up who thinks hyphens are the worst?! 🙋
Now, don’t get me wrong, our beloved Squarespace does a great job of optimising the layouts of our website pages in order for them to be responsive and look great on any sized screen. However, one of those adjustments includes hyphenating text on devices with narrower screen widths including mobile. (Squarespace, why oh why do you do this?!)
If you’re in the ‘I hate hyphenated text club’ and are looking for a way to prevent this from happening - then you’re in the right place!
Here’s some super simple CSS code you can use to stop hyphenation on mobile in Squarespace today! (Don’t worry - this code works across all Squarespace templates on both 7.0 & 7.1 sites, so you’re golden.👌)
Now, you may be reading this, take one look at the word CSS and feel wayyyy out of your depth. But before you run the other way, just hear me out! Don’t let the word CSS freak you out. I promise this is a super simple tweak to your website that involves a simple copy and paste job. If you stick with me you could have this nifty little tip done and dusted within minutes!
So, here’s how to remove hyphenated text on mobile view in Squarespace:
Step 1 | Log in to your Squarespace account
*Nifty tip!* You can instantly be directed to the backend of your Squarespace site from the frontend of your website (i.e www.kurlycreative.com) by simply pressing the escape key!
Step 2 | Head to ‘Design’ then ‘Custom CSS’
Step 3 | Copy and paste the CSS code into the editor box
Here’s the code you need:
// Remove Hyphens //
p, h1, h2, h3 {
-webkit-hyphens: manual !important;
-moz-hyphens: manual !important;
-ms-hyphens: manual !important;
hyphens: manual !important;
}
Hit save. Et voila! You’re done!
