Layout overload
Hello, I have a problem with my layout. When I connect with nuxt-auth I arrive on a dashboard that has its own layout, when I click on the logo that redirects to the home page or even on elements that bring me back to pages using the default layout, the sidebar of my menu and the authenticated header remain on my page. Should I unload the layout? I should point out that this only happens with dynamic page changes. If I update, everything works normally.

Hi @Furnaxe. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

It sounds like your issue is related to layout transitions not properly updating when navigating between pages with different layouts (e.g., from a dashboard with a sidebar to a default home page). This is a known challenge in Nuxt when using dynamic layouts, especially if you use
If you see elements from the previous layout (like the sidebar or authenticated header) persisting after navigation, it may be because the layout is not being properly unloaded or replaced. This can happen if the layout transition is not triggered, or if the layout is nested incorrectly. 2. Proper Layout Usage:

<NuxtLayout> in your app.vue and rely on definePageMeta({ layout: '...' }) to switch layouts.
Key points and solutions from the knowledge sources:
1. Layout Switching and Stale UI:If you see elements from the previous layout (like the sidebar or authenticated header) persisting after navigation, it may be because the layout is not being properly unloaded or replaced. This can happen if the layout transition is not triggered, or if the layout is nested incorrectly. 2. Proper Layout Usage:
- Make sure you are using
<NuxtLayout> in your app.vue as recommended, and that your layouts are defined in the layouts/ directory.- Use
definePageMeta({ layout: 'your-layout-name' }) in your page components to specify which layout to use for each page.- If you want to disable the layout for a page, use
definePageMeta({ layout: false })Named Layout.
3. Transition Issues:- If you disable the layout (set
layout: false), transitions may not work as expected. The recommended workaround is to create a "blank" layout that only contains a <slot />, and use that instead of disabling the layout. This keeps transitions working and ensures the layout is properly replaced on navigationTransition Issue with Layout in Nuxt 3 Part 2.
4. Dynamic Layout Changes:- If you need to change the layout dynamically (e.g., after login), you can use the
setPageLayout utility in middleware or plugins to programmatically switch layoutssetPageLayout.
5. Nesting and Overriding Layouts:- If you use
<NuxtLayout> inside a page that already has a layout, you may end up with nested layouts, which can cause UI elements to persist unexpectedly. To avoid this, ensure you are not nesting layouts unless explicitly intendedOverriding a Layout on a Per-page Basis.
Summary of what you should check:
- Ensure each page sets the correct layout using definePageMeta.
- Avoid nesting <NuxtLayout> components unless you want nested layouts.
- Use a "blank" layout instead of layout: false to keep transitions working.
- If you dynamically change layouts (e.g., after login/logout), use setPageLayout in middleware or plugins.
If after these checks the issue persists, it may be due to a bug or a specific implementation detail not covered in the documentation. In that case, providing a minimal reproduction would help further diagnose the problem.

I should use a “blank” layout because I've already tried using setPageLayout or definePageMeta
