Text not wrapping inside a div element

I found this helped where my words were breaking part way through the word in a WooThemes Testimonial plugin.

.testimonials-text {
    white-space: normal;
}

play with it here http://nortronics.com.au/recomendations/

<blockquote class="testimonials-text" itemprop="reviewBody">

<a href="http://www.jacobs.com/" class="avatar-link">

That's because there are no spaces in that long string so it has to break out of its container. Add word-break:break-all; to your .title rules to force a break.

#calendar_container > #events_container > .event_block > .title {
    width:400px;
    font-size:12px;
    word-break:break-all;
}

jsFiddle example


The problem in the jsfiddle is that your dummy text is all one word. If you use your lorem ipsum given in the question, then the text wraps fine.

If you want large words to be broken mid-word and wrap around, add this to your .title css:

word-wrap: break-word;

This may help a small percentage of people still scratching their heads. Text copied from clipboard into VSCode may have an invisible hard space character preventing wrapping. Check it with HTML inspector

string with hard spaces


you can add this line: word-break:break-all; to your CSS-code
