I have a site with WP Ocean and Elementor
In your release-note
https://toolset.com/version/layouts-2-0-2-b1/
you said you fixed compatibility issues between Elementor and Layouts
I have a child layout for pages which shows the content of a page + a login widget
When the content is edited with Elementor and page is rendered the content appears twice (obviously first from layouts and then another time from Elementor?)
When the content is edited with the standard WordPress editor the content appears only once (obviously the problem is not with WP Ocean but Elementor)
Can be seen at:hidden link
The only issue fixed in that release for Elementor is described as follows:
1. Install Elementor:

2. Install Layouts
3. Create a Layout with Post Body call (A Post Body ShortCode or a Post Body Cell) or even just several Visual Editor Cells
==> Just make sure that there are at least 2 Visual Editor Cell to see the issue
4. head to a page, edit it with Elementor and add a simple text cell
5. Assign your Toolset Layout to the page, and visit the page in the front end
You will see every Toolset Layout cell displayed correctly, but the Visual Editor Cell is replaced with the Elementor Content (resulting in repeating content).
This sounds similar to what you report, but now it seems limited to once an output of Layouts and once of Elementor, while before it repeated for each Visual Editor Cell.
This seems a new BUG hence.
Can you, in order to expedite a solution, provide me with a copy of the site?

Please as well add the links to the page and layout which I can check to see the issue.
This will allow me to immediately replicate and escalate the issue to the Developers.
Thanks, I was able to replicate the issue with the Duplicate.
The thing is, for once, using 2 page builders at the same time is simply not what the idea behind those tools is.
Second, Eleemntor simply knocks out Toolset Layouts.
Layouts should replace the_content().
So does Elementor.
But Elementor wins the race, the content is now replaced in any case by Elementor.
If Layouts is used, it as well replaces the_content() resulting in duplicate content.
Basically, it is the wrong approach.
I am not sure we want to adjust this, as it is more about fixing things that are not supposed to work.
But, let me see what the developers say in regard.
Hi Beda!
I rather think that the Elementor integration is trickier than the WP Bakery integration.
Because if i use WP Bakery (also then I have 2 Page builders active) the problem does not occur.
Yes, this is as I suspected.
Toolset Layouts is a Template/Page Builder and logically you can not - should not - use two page Builders within the same.
There are several proper solutions to edit the Post Body with builders (such as Toolset Layouts can produce Template Layouts or Content Layouts).
If you use another Page Builder, you can do that, but not within content already displayed with Toolset Layouts, or the opposite, displaying Layouts in 3rd Party page Builders.
The solution here is to decide what you want to use on that Website, or particular Post Type, or particular Post/Page.
Both together is an improper solution for the give logical reasons
The same is valid BTW for any other Page Builder.
I missed your last message-
It's not about how many Page Builders you have active.
You can activate 3 or 4 of them if you need them.
But, you cannot mix their contents.
I am sure you can understand that you cannot let 2 tools desing the same template.
When you design the template with Content Templates, you as well cannot use a Layout on it anymore.
Either or, this is the only solution.
You can keep the builders active, but each post/page has to be styled with one of them
Our integrations do not relate to Toolset Layouts but Content Templates, when it comes to Page Builders.
(Elementor has no integration at all, yet, but that is not the issue here)
Whether or not this works with Bakery Builder is more of a casualty.
It may work or break, but it is surely the wrong approach.
Toolset Layouts is a page builder, and as such, should be used as a standalone solution on a page or post, just like any other page builder as well.
