  Switch the editor to HTML and delete all of these:
  <div style="text-align:left;">

  and all of these:
  </div>

  Then hit return to create paragraph breaks where necessary.

  You’re welcome.
  Those tags cannot show up by themselves, so to answer your question I need to know if you copypasted the content from another source or if you tried to left-align the text via the relevant tool of the Visual editor.

  I did not copy paste the content from another source, it was original.

  I tried to left align the text only as a last resort to try and fix the text. The text already was appearing shifted to the left when I tried that.

  I see. So: when you start typing a new post, make sure the Format tool (row 2 tool 1) is set to Paragraph.

  (In case you’re curious to know how I can tell it wasn’t set to Paragraph: if it was, then your trying to left align the text would have produced p tags instead of div tags.)
