I have noticed that Toolset layouts that are in trash, can still be viewed on the front end.

WHY ?

Hello,

When you trash a layout in admin side, you should be able to see a warning message: This layout is assigned to a post, it can't be deleted.
See my screenshot trash-layout.jpg

Unless you trash the layout in abnormal way.

I suggest you try these:
Restore the layout from trash, edit each assigned post, unassign them with the layout, then trash the layout again.

You missed my point.

An unassigned layout that is in trash can be viewed on the front end.

Just add "?layout_id=123456" (without quotes and the number is the id code) to the end of any post and you can see the layout.

I have tried it in my localhost with a fresh WP installation + the latest version of Toolset plugins, but don't see the same issue as you mentioned above, please provide your website database dump file in below private message box, also point out the problem post/layout URL, I need to test and debug it in my localhost, thanks

I have done further testing and it may be a theme related issue. wp2022 theme works fine, but any other older version has the problem. I use toolset starter theme on my main site, that has the problem.

I can give you login access to see the problem and you can download from there, if required.
