Edit with Elementor changes pages layout settings

  • I have notice that when I create a new page, the layout options are matching those that I set in the customizer, however, when I click on ‘Edit with Elementor’ all the options change. For example the ‘Page Layout’ changes from default to Fullwidth.

    This is not a major deal as I can reset them all back to default, but I am curious if this is supposed to happen?

    Cheers

  • Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    This is intended behavior. Some of the page settings will be changed once you edit a new page using the Elementor page builder without setting them explicitly on the page settings.

    The theme is assuming that you will build the page content how you want it so unless you specify the page settings, some of them will be disabled. You can see the function for this in kadence/inc/components/elementor/component.php under the elementor_page_meta_setting() function.

    Specifically, look at lines 577-580:

    $post_layout = get_post_meta( $page_id, '_kad_post_layout', true );
				if ( empty( $post_layout ) || 'default' === $post_layout ) {
					update_post_meta( $page_id, '_kad_post_layout', 'fullwidth' );
				}

    This is the condition that makes the page layout full-width once you edit the page via Elementor.

    Hope this clarifies and let us know if we can assist you further.

    Best Regards,
    Karla
