A lot of new Cwicly users experience something they consider an issue where their post/page backend view on the editor doesn’t match what is displayed on the frontend.
Why this happens: the page/post uses the Index template by default (which can be found in the Cwicly Themer, or in the Full Site Editor). The Index template contains by default a Section block that contains the Post Content block (which renders the post content).
How to fix: Move the post content block outside of the section block wrapping it in the Index template. Then, remove said section block.
I don’t know if this is best practice when using cwicly, but I did it that way:
For full-width sections settings are “width = 100%”, and margin left and right to 0. And for pages I want to have full width, I made sure that the post content block of the respective template used for that pages is not wrapped.
Hey wondering if there is a way to reset the “settings” to the default. I messed around with them nan now i am not sure what is what. Maybe resetting the default and then testing out various settings one by one was a better solution. Specifically, i have the override the default WP them settings goggled on and maybe i should have that off. Or is there a video walkthrough of the settings settings? This is literally my first day on your product, sooooo excited it is incredible. Thanks so much!
I think maybe i have figure out why i am struggling. Is the container only meant for content width? so it will only go as wide as the inner content theme settings? I have been trying to use it, like I used my GP container which is first full width then i can add a content width inside of it. I am going to try it out. Yep I that was my issue! I was treating the containter like a section. I added a section that comes with a container (much like GP container system) and all is well. Whew. Now I am off to the races…
Cwicly is very flexible with what you can do - by default it adds a max-width on the container and centres it using margin-left/right: auto; however you can customise this globally and override it on a per section basis.
To configure the defaults, you can go to the Globals > Elements: and there you can create a rule for all sections and containers and/or class based rules for distinct usages.
Ok bear with me, i am on day three so I am still familiarizing myself reading through all the documentation. I have just gotten to the Post Content section that talks about the Cwicly Post Content Block and how I can use it. Is that instead of the default WP content block or on top of? I am unclear where to put it. Thank you for your help!

Ok thank you for responding! So this is what my page template looks like right now. You can see I have both the default content and the Cy post content block. I am unclear how to remove the default? ON a side. note, i did override the default styles etc… in teh settings as I plan to use CY settings whenever possible and I didn’t want to get confused with the Theme defaults. I am using twenty twenty four fyi. Thanks for your help. I hate being the new kid, LOL. Thanks for your hlep!
Ok I figured out my issue. I was not using your amazing theme that goes with your plugin that essentially allows me to start from scratch!!! Build my own templates. I am watching this now which is very helpful for this subject. At least it answers all of my questions. I reset everything to default and re installed the the plug-in and then added your theme and now it all makes sense!! This is brilliant. More than i could have hoped for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cotQkzaLOuI&t=228s
