If you are using the Prose child theme for the Genesis Framework, and you recently upgraded to WordPress 3.3, you might have noticed that your Prose Design Settings page now looks kinda strange.
Instead of two columns of settings, you now have one column of extra-wide settings:

…with a big space about halfway down the page:

Clearly some kind of column-resetting weirdness has happened with the WordPress 3.3 upgrade.
Fortunately, it’s easy to get your normal two-column display back, in four quick clicks.
Click 1: Screen Options

At the top right of your Prose Design Settings screen, there’s a little gray pull-down menu entitled “Screen Options.”
Click it.

Click 2: Select number of columns
At the bottom of the menu that opens up, look under Screen Layout and click “2″ next to Number of Columns.
Unless you have a good reason for hiding one or more of your Prose Design Settings, just leave all the checkboxes checked.
Click 3: Close Screen Options
When you have selected the two-column layout, go ahead and close the Screen Options menu by clicking on the words “Screen Options” again.
Nothing changes on your screen, but that’s because you need the fourth click!
Click 4: Save Settings

At the top of your Prose Design Settings page, click the Save Settings button (it’s supposed to be WordPress blue, but in some browsers it shows up as barely legible white-on-gray).
Be sure to click the Save Settings button at the top of the page. There’s another one at the bottom of the page, but the bottom button is buggy (say that five times fast!), especially in certain browsers.
Presto! Two columns restored!

There you have it, your regular two-column Prose Design Settings have been restored!
Yes, that Prose link up there is an affiliate link. I’m now using the Prose theme here on WendyCholbi.com and for the majority of my WordPress installations, and I highly recommend it. You’ll be hearing more about Prose from me in the coming months.
It’s the darkest day of the year.
