I am trying to use a pagebuilder prebuilt layout but each time I preview the layout there is other elements from which ever theme I am using at the time appearing on the page. I have googled and watched youtube videos but still can’t find something that tells me how to do this. I don’t know if I’m not using the right search terms but I can’t find anything about this problem that seems so simple. The preview of the built in layouts don’t have extra elements but there is nothing saying how to remove these extra elements that wordpress adds in. I have tried switching off the blog widgets but still have header and footer elements I don’t want. I am at my tail end does anyone know how to create a page builder layout completely on its own?
Thank you for any help!
Hi Solevita2020,
So what it sounds like you want is to use Page Builder as your websites layout completely. This means you don’t want any of your themes elements to get in the way whatsoever.
If this is the case can you please send me a public URL where I can take a look at your website? If you need to keep this URL private from other users, just select “Private Reply” on the bottom right of the comment box.
I’ll need it to hide the elements you don’t wish to see.
Hi Alex S I am building this website for a businesses, I have a coming soon maintenance page currently over the homepage and cannot have the website under construction being public.
Here are two screen shots of the hoempage.
Thank you,
Hi Solevita2020,
Okay. It’s going to be a tad tricky to write any CSS for it without actually seeing it but I guess I’ll make do. What theme are you using currently?
The Theme is called illdy by colorlib. Is there not a theme that will just leave everything clear so pagebuilder prebuilt layouts can be used?
Hi Solevita2020,
Currently no. However if you’re open to changing themes I would strong suggest our Vantage theme. It’s very light weight and includes a couple of special Page Builder Widgets. It’s also very easy to do what you’re asking.
Here’s how to disable all “theme” aspects of Vantage. If you navigate to AppearanceCustom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Just add the following code.
.site-header .hgroup, .site-footer { display: none !important; } #main { padding-top: 0 !important; padding-bottom: 0 !important; }Please note that I’ve left the navigation intact to ensure you won’t have to add it to each and every page. You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.
Thank you that worked!
