Genesis Dambuster plugin basic settings

If you have the latest version of Genesis and a modern theme, you won’t need this plugin. A full width page option is now built into Genesis.

Genesis Dambuster plugin makes your page full width and removes selected elements from your page, such as the post title or the navbar.

The important facts…

Your page can only span the width of the theme you’re using. If you’re using a boxed theme, Genesis Dambuster will NOT make your pages span the whole browser window.

Dambuster has three lots of settings. Dashboard settings, individual page settings and layout settings (with or without sidebars).

People often use the Dambuster plugin with the Beaver Builder plugin. There is also a free version of Beaver Builder.

Some basic Dambuster settings to get you started…

Genesis Dambuster universal settings

After you install and activate Genesis Dambuster, go to Dashboard > Genesis > Dambuster.

You now see the Genesis Dambuster default settings dialogue

Start with Default Template Tweaks and work through each tab. The Template Width, Full Width Page tab makes the page span full width of your theme.

Ticking the boxes under the other tabs removes that element from pages that use Dambuster.

The control Panel section enables Genesis Dambuster on custom post types such as WooCommerce Products pages. Your site may or may not have Custom Post Types depending on the theme and plugins you use.

Genesis Dambuster individual page settings

You choose on a page by page basis whether or not to activate Dambuster on that page.
