 * You’re using a commercial theme/plugin, so please use their official support 
   channel. We feel they are best equipped to support their products.

 * It’s definitely those extra DIVs that are pushing the left edge out, because 
   they have an inline style setting the left border to -9999px. Are you sure it’s
   not a plugin that is causing the problem? I would be very surprised if the theme
   was putting those DIVs in there. Try deactivating all of your plugins and see
   if the problem goes away.
 * If you can’t find a plugin that’s putting in those extra DIVs, you may be able
   to remove them by adding some Javascript.

 * Never mind, I think I found a CSS solution for you. Try adding this rule in your
   custom CSS (**Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS**):
 *     ```
       body.single-post {
          overflow-x: hidden;
       }
       ```
   
 * This should hide those extra DIVs.

 * Did you try deactivating all of your plugins to see if the problem goes away?

 * And can you also try modifying the rule so it looks like this:
 *     ```
       body.single-post {
          overflow-x: hidden !important;
       }
       ```

 * If you cannot find a plugin that is causing the extra tags, you can use this 
   piece of code to remove them.
 *     ```
       <script>
       jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ){
          $("div").each( function(index) {
             strLeft = $(this).css("left");
             if (strLeft.indexOf("-9999") != -1) {
                $(this).remove();
             }
          });
       });
       </script>
       ```
   
 * You will need to add the code using a plugin that will insert the code into the
   <head> section of your pages. I recommend either [Simple Custom CSS and JS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js/)
   or [Header and Footer Post Injections](https://wordpress.org/plugins/header-footer/).
   If you use the first plugin, you can remove the <script> and </script> tags from
   the example above, because that plugin will automatically insert them.
 * What the code does is scan through all DIVs and look for the ones which have 
   the **left** CSS property set to -9999, which is what those DIVs have. When it
   finds one, then it gets removed. I’m hoping those DIVs have the same property
   value of -9999 under mobile as they do in the desktop browser, otherwise the 
   code won’t work.
