Theme overrides or breaks layout when using Elementor, WPBakery, etc.
Theme Conflicts with Page Builder
Key Points: Theme layout or styling interferes with popular page builder plugins.
You build a beautiful section in Elementor… and the live site turns it into a chaos of paddings and fonts. The theme clearly doesn’t want to share control.
🚫 What Can Go Wrong
- Theme CSS overrides builder styles
- Theme disables full-width or container classes
- Header/footer templates don’t support builder layouts
🛠️ Solutions
- Check if the theme offers “Blank” or “Canvas” templates
- Use builder’s built-in layout control (disable theme styles if available)
- Switch to a more builder-friendly theme if issues persist
💬 Pro Advice
If your workflow depends on a builder, use themes explicitly marked as “builder-ready.” Don’t fight your own theme every step of the way.
