 * Hi
 * I am trying to reset the $content_width variable as per the codex
 * In my functions.php I put $content_width = 2000;
 * I am then creating some new images sizes for the media library. I know these 
   images are uploading with my new sizes because I checked with ftp and the filenames
   are correct but they are displaying wrong in the media pop up for images sizes
   and so the width settings are wrong int he code. This is exactly the problem 
   described [in the codex](https://codex.wordpress.org/Content_Width) but the solution,
   at least for me, isn’t working
 * Can anyone help please?
