[Resolved] Remove sidebar, header, footer, control those items with Toolset

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

Problem:
How can we remove or control sidebar, footer, header and more with Toolset?

Solution:
All those elements are displayed by your theme, not Toolset.

To remove them you have 2 choices (apart of CSS):
- Use a CPT ready Theme (Custom Post Type Ready) that holds settings for those datasets to be disabled or activated
https://toolset.com/documentation/recommended-themes/
- Use a Theme that does not output those things by default, or create a Child theme where you remove those things from the PHP template.

The Toolset will allow you to design everything within the_content() (Usually known as post body) - nothing around that.
If you want to design the entire template with Toolset Layouts, you need to integrate the theme with it.
This is however not anymore documented or suggested.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
Create a front-end content template/layout without the default WP fields (featured image / blog info / comments / etc). Looking to achieve this without using CSS to display none.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Forum - could not find anything relevant
Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

All those elements are, as you mention, WordPress native fields and values, and they are displayed by your theme, not Toolset.

To remove them you have 2 choices (apart of CSS):
- Use a CPT ready Theme (Custom Post Type Ready) that holds settings for those datasets to be disabled or activated
https://toolset.com/documentation/recommended-themes/
- Use a Theme that does not output those things by default, or create a Child theme where you remove those things from the PHP template.

I wanted to make sure there is no other way. I will try to use a Child theme. My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
