In reply to noogrub and this post
“I have the same problem KingJeffrey had: WP 2.8.1 Editing Page now shows in one column, with the Attributes and Publish widgets far down the page. If I hit “Screen Options”, select 1 column and then select back to 2 column, the main column narrows and I can drag the widgets to the right sidebar. However, no matter what I try, the page reverts to single column when I refresh, or when I click “Publish”.
Can anyone explain how the “Screen Options” settings work? I have not figured out what js is called when I click “Screen Options”.
Any assistance appreciated.”
All you need to do is manually drag and drop the widgets to the sidebar. A shaded dashed box should appear when you do his, motioning you towards a area suitable for dropping.
I hope that helps.
