Can't disable sidebar in archive page and strange elements on the page

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I am using the Divi theme, and I would like to remove the sidebar from my WordPress Archive to achieve a full-width archive page.

Solution: Unfortunately Divi does not provide a simple option to remove the sidebar from WordPress Archive pages. An article on Divi's site describes a CSS solution for this problem, but it may require some assistance from Divi support.

Hi, unfortunately Divi does not provide an external theme option for creating full-width archives, so you won't find the theme option available in Toolset's WordPress Archives. You can achieve a full-width archive with Divi by creating your own custom full-width archive PHP template in a child theme, or you can try to apply a CSS solution. I found this article on the Divi site that claims to be able to help suppress the sidebar globally:

If you find that it works, I can help you implement it for specific archives if you'd like. Let me know.
