Having a single page template. There is a CSS class `.layout-default` added to the main container (see single.php). In CSS then all `.brxe-container` gets a padding of 15px on both sides. This can not be reset easily because the specificity is too high:

`.layout-default .brxe-container { ... }`

Why is this padding added in the theme CSS and why is there no UI setting for disabling it?

For now i’ve copied the single.php to the child theme and removed the class from the main container but i would prefer to have a filter for treating classes in `main` container (which is not possible with `bricks/frontend/render_data`, [see academy](https://academy.bricksbuilder.io/article/filter-bricks-frontend-render_data/)). But in any case the specificity of the CSS should be null.

I am on Bricks Version: 1.9.8.

Hi,  
I’ve got a very similar issue. Did you ever figure this out?

I think it’s still the best solution to copy the file to the child theme and remove the class as described in the initial post.
