Just a quick update. I switched through the themes that are included with WP, and with 2012 it works as expected. No issues setting rows and columns.

I installed a new theme (free) called WordPlus, and it also works just fine.

I’m trying to see what it is in the newer WP themes that is not allowing the sizing to work, but haven’t found anything specific yet. In all honesty, I’m not that good at troubleshooting CSS!

If someone who is a CSS guru would look at it, I’m pretty sure they’ll spot the issue pretty quickly.

Hello,

I have the same problem with the Post Body field. The sizing settings seem to be ignored when using either Rich text option.

With any option, the Columns setting is having no effect.

I’m using the WP 2014 theme, updated, and the page is using the Full Width template.
