This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I'm using Layouts and Visual Composer together. When the first row in my Layout uses multiple columns, all the content is squeezed into a narrow column in the Visual Composer Frontend Editor. For example, if my top row contains a 4 column cell and an 8 column cell, when I try to use the Page Builder to edit the content of this page, all the page content is squeezed into the first 4 columns.
Solution: This seems to be a compatibility issue, and it has been reported to our developers for a resolution. In the meantime, a workaround can be used. Create a new row in your Layout. Insert a single 12 column Visual Editor cell. Move this new row into the top position of your Layout.

I am trying to:
Edit a page in Visual Composer Frontend Editor with Toolset Layouts and Toolset Layouts Starter Theme enabled.
I visited this URL:
hidden link
I expected to see:
I expected to see the Page Content with the Visual Composer Frontend Editor overlay.
Instead, I got:
The Visual Composer Frontend Editor is inserted in the wrong place and seems to be broken. The Visual Composer support says it's because the theme templates are generated dynamically and I should use a default theme instead of toolset layouts. However, I would like to use both Toolset Layouts and Visual Composer.
I can provide login data for the site if necessary to debug this issue.
Hi, it took me a while but I believe I have isolated the issue. As a test, can you try the following steps:
- Edit your parent layout. Add a new row with a Visual Editor cell that extends the full width of the row - in other words, it should be 12 columns wide.
- Do not place anything in the Visual Editor cell.
- Drag this new row above the "Top Header" row in your parent layout. See the attached screenshot for a visual guide.
- Save your parent layout and retry editing the page with Visual Composer.
In my local tests, this workaround forced the content area to extend full-width in my Visual Composer page builder. Can you confirm the same behavior?
