 * Hi,
 * For some reason, all of my posts display a drop cap over the excerpt text (see
   link). I can’t find a setting in the theme customiser to turn it off. Is there
   any additional CSS I could add to disable it?
 * Thanks so much!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremove-automatic-drop-cap%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi everyone,
 * I figured this one out. My post pages were pulling up the content.php part, which
   I removed the following code from:
 *     ```
       /*Get first word of content*/
               $first_word = substr($raw_content, 0, 1);
               /*only allow alphabets*/
               if (preg_match("/[A-Za-z]+/", $first_word) != TRUE) {
                   $first_word = '';
               }
   
               echo '<div class="entry-content" data-initials="' . esc_attr($first_word) . '">';
       ```
   
 * This has done the trick!
