    Type is cut off on right side of posts, but it does not happen on all posts. :-( Here is a post it happened on: http://inspirationalchristiansfortoday.com/2015/02/01/our-transfer-2/

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    I just took a look at the post you provided and it looks like you may have pasted that article in from another source. It brought with it a lot of formatting which is breaking the width of your site.

    The immediate fix for this article (and any other article which you have noticed is doing this) is to go in and edit the post, and then click the Text tab on the upper right hand corner of the compose window. You will see the code version of your post.

    You’ll notice that there are a bunch of pieces of code which start with “div”

    As long as they’re used appropriately, those don’t make much difference, but they can also cause a lot of harm in situations like this. Here are the ones which you’ll want to remove right now:

    <div class="row">
    <div class="articleContentBody devotionalContentBody col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12">

    Then you’ll want to scroll to the bottom of the page and remove the two closing div tags (the partners of the ones above). They’re at the very bottom and look like this:

    </div>
    </div>

    Once you do that, you can update your page and it should show text all the way to the edge of the screen but not over it.

    In the future, you’ll want to strip any formatting to try and prevent this from happening. You can do so by following the instructions here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/microsoft-word/
