YAY! I despise justified text especially on mobile devices. It's much harder to read than flush left, ragged right.
I agree, Marion, which I why I never would have noticed this. Justified text does NOT render well across browsers either.
That doesn't change the code you use for your WP website, isn't it? Or is the coding on WP different using a Mac?
Hi Paul,This will help you.
https://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-7-removes-the-underline-and-justify-buttons-from-the-editor
I did not update yet to WP 4.7... I still do have the justify and the underline-button... maybe after the update not anymore...?
It would seem that the U for underline is also gone. I had to do Ctrl U earlier which is no big deal. I saw a list of Wordpress shortcuts on the web once, bet you could Google it.
By default it is justified, just make sure none of the other buttons (right, left, center) are highlighted.

1 Heading 1 2 Heading 2

7 Paragraph q Blockquote
d Strikethrough x Code
c Align center r Align right
l Align left j Justify
u Bulleted list o Numbered list
m Insert/edit image s Remove link
z Toolbar Toggle t Insert Read More tag
p Insert Page Break tag w Distraction-free writing mode
You see it updated itself and now the justify icon has gone and in the place of it is this clear formatting tab - _number six on the bottom row
Ugh, I haven't upgraded my WP yet, I need to go do that so I'm on top of things. Thanks Paul... I'll go update and get back to you?

Does anyone know what has happened to the justify?
Where has it
Align left is where the text lines up on the left had side but I have never herd the expression justify left as justify means to have smooth text st each side left and right

I need a plug in that will allow me to make colored pages and also that will allow me to make a pic or text overlay so I can use for my front page
thanking you
Hi Paul, Are you speaking of a landing page? There are a lot of ways to get something like that, using the various tools that are out there...As some have said, WP plugins are available, or if you would rather, you could create them on an external service or tool and load the file/page onto your WP site...Cheers! Dave : )
Hi Pail (Paul) , good question I also had when I tried to built my own site previously. I do believe that colour always makes a site more attractive, if used right!
I found several WP plugins that will get you colored pages, background etc. , on Google...

Some of the WP themes have this ability built in. But other members have suggested not to do it because it's a distraction to the reader. Just my opinion.

incorrect twitter address
click on the thumbnail picture of yourself in the upper right corner on twitter. a menu will drop down and "settings" will be one of your choices on that menu.
hi i have two twitter accounts and this site is going to the wrong twitter how do I direct it to the twitter I want to use
go into the widgets area in appearance category in your wordpress editor page. click on the at social widget on the right. this should drop down a menu with all of your social accounts. just copy the url from the twitter account you want to use and put it in place of the incorrect one.
let me know if you need any more help with this. at social is the name of the widget that, I believe, was automatically in there. I don't think i had to add it, but i suppose its possible that you have a different widget. the process should be similar regardless.
Do the little social media buttons appear on your site? I have two sets of them on mine. 1 is a widget that was in my widgets menu automatically. this one brings the user to my "twitter" or "Facebook" page when they click it.
2 is a plug in. it put similar buttons on my page that share my website page on the twitter or facebook of the person reading my page.
here is a screen shot of the widget in my account...

My Stupid Question - what's the difference between "align left" and "justify left"?
Align left is where the text lines up on the left had side but I have never herd the expression justify left as justify means to have smooth text st each side left and right
Thanks Paul - got it!
- I guess I've never justified.
I always justify all my work because I think it looks neater!!!
