Tell us what you are trying to do?
Hi Im using buddyboss theme with elementor. Initially I created the archive and single page templates with elementor. However this caused some issue when Im editing posts with frontend forms.
In order to resolve this I decided to look into creating single page templates with toolset.
I have created a custom template according to the instruction below and disconnected the Elementor templates.
However now the single post content template does not replace the theme template, it just inserts the content template in the content section of the theme's post template content area.
Clearly I'm doing something wrong pls advise
thx
Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/glossary/template/
Is there a similar example that we can see?
What is the link to your site?

Hi,
Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.
Your observation is correct and as expected and when a Toolset content template is assigned to a single post/page, it only applies to the content section and not the entire page.
If you could provide more specific details about the challenge you were having with Elementor's single page template and the front-end forms, I'll be in a better position to guide you with the best way forward.
regards,
Waqar
Previous process
For Post type archive I created two views to display the the archive layout.
1st view shows 1 latest post in the loop with a specific design
2dnt view shows all post in loop, skipping 1 post this include a filter and search filter.
I then created an elementor archive template and inserted the views via the toolset widget.
I then created the single post template with elementor, using widgets to call the content dynamically.
However this meant that when I use the edit post link, the edit cred form opens in the post content section. (as it should)
but then I have a page that contain all the elementor widgets with post content and underneath the cred form.
This in itself is not a big issue but I would like to have the form open on its own without the elementor widgets showing the post and in a new window.
I had a support ticket to discuss this issue and that's why I then wanted to try using toolset templates.
However, why cant I replace the theme default post template with a toolset template? I thought that's how its supposed to work?
If you want access to the site let me know I have a toolset user set up
Thx
Thank you for sharing these details.
As mentioned in my last reply, Toolset's content template only applies to the content part and not the entire page coming from the theme's template file, and hence for what you're planning your previous process makes sense.
The unnecessary/extra page elements can be hidden while the editing form is showing.
Can you please revert to that previous process and share temporary admin login details? Also, share an example of a single post and a single post edit link.
Note: Your next reply will be private and please make a complete backup copy, before sharing the access details.
Thank you for sharing the admin access and sorry about the delay in getting back on this.
You can include the following CSS code in your Toolset content template "Edit News Post Form", that is used to show the edit form:
#content .elementor-inner .elementor-section-wrap > .elementor-section {
display: none;
}
#content .elementor-inner .elementor-section-wrap > .elementor-section:nth-of-type(5) {
display: block;
}
It will hide all the sections from the page's content, except for the 5th one, which shows the edit form.
I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.
This works great thx.
I assume I can apply the same principle to all my other forms.
thx
Thanks for the update and glad that it works.
Yes, you can apply the same principle to your other edit forms too.
Feel free to mark this ticket as resolved and start a new one, for each new question or concern.
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
