Mastering the Art of Line Breaks in WordPress

I am looking for a way to break a WordPress site title over two lines at a specific point in the text.

Since the WordPress content filter 'wpautop' disables the `
` tag (also known as `
` or `
`), I'm wondering what the best alternative method is for line breaking using CSS instead of the traditional tag.

To be clear, I want to achieve this without using the <br> tag:

<a href="https://example.com/">This is a<br>Site Title</a>

EDIT: I would prefer not to hard-code the site title with markup so that users can still edit the title in the admin settings. Is there a way to wrap after a certain number of words or characters using CSS, for example?

Answer №1

In the current scenario, there isn't a straightforward way to incorporate line breaks in a WordPress title. To tackle this issue, I had to create my own theme, even though I initially wanted to avoid doing so.

Adding some background: Many website logos have text embedded within the image itself and manage SEO aspects using metadata/attributes. My aim was to enable users to input their own titles via a frontend tool like the WP 'customize theme' editor, making it part of the logo and an SEO-friendly h1 tag.

The approach I took for a logo containing actual text is outlined below. While I moved away from basic user input, the end result was a visually appealing, fully responsive, SEO-friendly logo.

a {
  text-decoration: none;
  font-size: 1.8rem;
}

img {
  text-align: center;
  padding: 15%
}

#divHeaderLogo {
  display: flex;
  min-width: 24rem;
}

#divLogoImage {
  border-style: dotted;
  width: 8rem;
  height: 8rem;
}

#divLogoText {
  min-width: 16rem;
}

#logoTextLine2 {
  font-size: 2.5rem;
}
<div id="divHeaderLogo">
  <div id="divLogoImage">
    <img src="" alt="Image Placeholder">
  </div>
  <div id="divLogoText">
    <h1>
      <a href="#">Here's a Wrapping <div id="logoTextLine2">Logo Title</div></a>
    </h1>
  </div>
</div>
