How To Stop Words from Breaking on Mobile in Divi
In this quick tutorial, I show you how to stop your words from breaking on mobile in Divi. It’s a very common occurrence so if you experience it, you’re not alone! Luckily with just one line of CSS and perhaps a few custom tweaks, you’ll be all set in no time.
Hope this quick tip helps!
Here’s an example of how you can use this trick for headings:
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { overflow-wrap: normal; }

Hi, Josh.
Do you know why the layout break occurs when the tablet is viewed horizontally rather than vertically?
mmmm good question. Probably something to do with the width depending on the row/module on horizontal view.
Awesome tip, Josh. Thanks so much!
Thanks, Jason!
Nice Tip Josh.
If this is coupled with a media query to set the max-width to 90vw, will it prevent the overflow by reducing the heading text size?
mmm not sure Donal. Worth a shot!
Hey Josh
I followed the tutorial and when I use the “inspect element” feature to switch to mobile view, most of the text looks good but when I actually pull up the site on my mobile, I see broken words, etc. Am I missing something?
Just be sure to clear your cache or refresh then you should be all set! Sometimes actual phones do appear a little different than inspect element so it does take some fiddling around.
THanks!
