The Total WordPress theme comes with 2 main layouts for your site, Full-Width or Boxed. These settings can not only be changed globally but also on a per-page basis if needed or via a theme filter. Below you can learn about the different layouts and how to change them on your site.
Layout Types
Below is a quick explanation of each layout type included with Total to give you a better idea of how they look.
1. Full-Width
The full-width layout is the default layout for the theme and it displays your content centered of course but with a white background through-out. This layout doesn’t have any padding around the main wrapper.

2. Boxed
The boxed layout has a padding around the main wrapper as well as a background applied to it so that you can apply a custom background to your body and all your content will be centered with the background flowing around it.
