Why can't I justify the text in WordPress directly?
This is a fairly legitimate question that many users have had at some point.
“¿Por qué no puedo justificar el texto en WordPress con solo presionar un botón tal como hago en Word o en Google Docs?”
Well, the answer might surprise you.
It turns out that the WordPress development team decided (since version 4.7) to suppress the justify button that was in the editor options panel for a reason, pay close attention that this data interests you:
According to the WordPress.Org developers the justification was removed from the editor because justified texts are not highly recommended for use on the web.
As you read it:
The blocks of justified text pueden ser un problema a la hora de visualizarlos desde distintos browsers,
It turns out that there are hundreds of web browser options out there and each of them displays the justified content of different way.

- Device
- Device size

How to justify text in WordPress editor with classic editor
We have to say it:
The "new" Gutenberg editor is not to everyone's liking.
The most veteran have it disabled from their websites (or directly work with a version of WordPress) if you are one of those, then you are in luck because there is a very simple way to justify the text from the WordPress editor if you have at your disposal the classic editor, take note:
All you have to do is use a simple keyboard command:
- If you use Windows the keyboard shortcut to justify text in WordPress is: Ctrl + Alt + J
- If you use Mac the keyboard shortcut to justify text in WordPress is: Ctrl + Option + J
As you can see, it is quite easy.
Justificar texto en el editor clásico usando CSS
This is another fairly simple option if you work with the classic WordPress editor, all you have to do is open the code editor and use the next line of code:
<p style="”text-align:" justify;”> SUBSTITUTE THIS LINE WITH THE TEXT YOU WANT TO JUSTIFY </p>
In this way you can justify the text you want and later return to the visual editor when you have finished.
Now, if in your case you use the Gutenberg editor on your WordPress website at the same time there are other methods to justify text, pay attention.
Justify text in the classic editor using Advanced Editor Tools
Otra manera sencilla de justificar texto si utilizas es editor clásico es con un plugin.
There are many plugin alternatives in the repository to access the justify button from the editor, but one of the best is Advanced Editor Tools before called: TinyMCE Advanced Plugin.

How to justify text in WordPress editor with Gutenberg editor
For many users, Gutenberg is of great help because it facilitates the editing of content and the integration of items through blocks and all without the need to install code.
But you should know that the shortcuts or commands Ctrl + Alt + J or Ctrl + Option + J that work on Windows and on Mac with the classic editor, no longer work with Gutenberg.
Although if you have Gutenberg at your disposal and want to justify the text, here are these options:
Justify text in WordPress with the Gutenberg Page Building Toolkit
This plugin is fantastic because it allows you to access various options and resources that are not available by default in the Gutenberg editor.
The procedure to install it is the usual one:
You can download it from the WordPress repository or install it from your desktop: plugins - new.
Just by activating it you can justify text from the options panel at the top of the editor.
And the best of all:
The Gutenberg Page Building Toolkit plugin speaks again the commands or keyboard shortcuts (yes, the same keyboard shortcuts of the classic editor).
That means that at the same time you can justify the text using:
- CTRL + ALT + j (on Windows)
- Ctrl + Option + J (on Mac)
Another option to consider:
Another alternative that could be a bit drastic for some is:
Disable the Gutenberg editor and return to the classic version of the editor.
To do that you just have to install this plugin:
Disable Gutenberg
