This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The issue here was that the user was using an OceanWP theme and wanted to use Layouts to remove his sidebar area on the Custom Posts
Solution:
To be able to do this you will need to be running the latest version of Layouts.
Once you have the latest version I would advice taking a look at the link below.
https://toolset.com/documentation/recommended-themes/using-toolset-with-oceanwp-theme/#controlling-oceanwp-theme-options-for-templates-and-archives
This should provide you with the customization options for the theme and you can remove the sidebar here.

I am trying to: remove the sidebar from the "Discovery" custom post that I created with Toolset
Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
I expected to see: no sidebar
Instead, I got: a sidebar!
I have created a custom post called "Discovery" on my site using OceanWP theme. I have de-activated the sidebar from appearing on posts (Customize > Blog > Single post > Layout), but it still appears on custom posts. I have deactivated all plugins (except Toolset) to rule out incompatibility. I logged out and back in, I cleared cache. I tested putting back the sidebar on posts, moving it to the left side, removing it again: it does work on "normal" posts but not on my custom posts.
I played around with the layouts and content templates for my custom posts, even created a second template after making sure the sidebar was inactive on normal posts (in case the template was generated from an earlier configuration that was retained after customizing). By the way, I noticed that the documentation was not up-to-date on several occurences.
Well, nothing worked. I need your help and advice. Thanks in advance.
Hi Shane,
Thank you for your reply. However, I was looking for something simpler for a non-programmer like myself.
On this page in your knowledge base, you explain how to do exactly what I want:
https://toolset.com/documentation/recommended-themes/using-toolset-with-oceanwp-theme/
However, the "Theme options" that are shown at 1:30 in the video, and in an image down the page, do not appear on my own Layout or Content template. Why is that? If I had access to these as in the video, I would just disable the sidebar, as your demonstrator disables it at 1:50 in the video.
Thanks for helping me with this.
