text alignment issues

    On my main site – http://modernsurvivalonline.com – I have found that on the front page everything looks fine. However if I click and view a post on its own page –

      everything is centered

    – all text and pictures regardless of the html formating that was done when publishing.

    I am pretty desperate as I have been working on this for the past couple of days.

    Of note – on MY computer I am using Chrome. When I look at it in IE both the front page AND the individual posts have text aligned center.

    I a not sure what everyone else is seeing.

    Any and all help would be appreciated.

    This <center> tag is the culprit [screenshot].
    It is wrapping around all of your post’s content.
    Can you check your post’s HTML in the dashboard to see whether it’s there?

    Otherwise, try deactivating plugins to explore whether any could be responsible.

    Thank Andrew –

    I was able to g back and left align everything in the post and then when I looked at it it was fine. Problem is every single one of my thousands of posts are still centered. I will start with the plug-ins and see I can find something.

    Thanks – if you think of anything else let me know.

    I deactivated almost all of my plug-ins and nothing changed. For some reason the code is changing from when it is on te front page to when it is viewed as an individual post – it seems.

    I checked your post http://modernsurvivalonline.com/guest-post-5/ and I can’t experience the issue anymore.
    Can you clear your browser’s cache?

    Nevermind, you said you manually took out the <center> tag for that post?
    Can you link a post with the issue?

    I have cleared the cache. I believe that post is one that I manually fixed.

    Here is one that still has the problem:

    I can’t figure out the underlying problem, but for a quick temporary fix, you could add this CSS;

    .single .entry center {
 text-align: left;
}

    Is there a particular place I should add it?

    stylesheet.css right?

    If there’s no apparent place to put CSS other than the theme’s files, try downloading this Custom CSS Manager plugin. Then enter the CSS within the Custom CSS Manager section of the dashboard.

    Will this eliminated my ability to center pictures, and text if I wish?

    Yea… Let’s try to get around that by adding (appending) this;

    .single .entry center center {
 text-align: center;
}

    Sorry for my ignorance – are you say to add the new code – or replace the previous with the new?

    Thx!
