Hi. I'm using Beaver Builder and was able to build my homepage beautifully, but the individual post type pages seem to be wrapped in a single post layout and I can't figure out how to treat it like a single page so i can adjust the layout.

Hi there

If you have made a Content Template to show single posts, this will only override the content area of a page (specifically what is output by the_content() in your theme's PHP template for single posts).

It depends on your theme whether you can change the settings for single custom posts to be full width or not.

With some themes (those listed on our recommended themes page) you will see a Theme Options section when editing the Content Template where you can set theme options for posts displayed with this template, including whether there is a sidebar for example.

For other themes you would need to make a copy of the single.php template used for all single posts and use that for the post type in question. So if you have a custom post type with a slug of "project" you would name the PHP template single-project.php, and that would be used for all project posts. You could edit the template and, for example, delete the part that inserts the sidebar(s) in standard posts.

What theme are you using?

Hi!
we are using beaver builder theme and beaver builder plugin.
I was able to make it work though. But I guess I'm still curious as to how to make it full width.

We have an integration with the Beaver Builder plugin, but no special integration with the Beaver Theme, which means that the content of single custom posts will take up the space the theme makes available for it.

On the page you linked to you can see that the styles coming from the Beaver Theme itself set a max-width of 90% even on full-width pages, which means if you wanted a truly full-width page you would have to override the theme styles. (That may be possible in the Customizer, I'm not particularly familiar with the Beaver Theme.)
