I know. It’s kinda sucks.
It is very easy. You just don’t need this HTML code!
This text box should use the defaults of the WordPress installation or the theme basic css instructions. The problem is that you specify the DIR in the html code, so there is no way around it using css.
If it is really important for some reason, you can use css: direction=”ltr”. We could walk around it using the rtl.css or using !important or something.

Again, you shouldn’t put the dir=”ltr” in the code. It is better to be inherited from the defaults of the website.
