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.
