This article has instructions for disabling the parallax feature, which will allow wallpaper to be resized again:

Oct 17, 2013 4:39 PM in response to MacGriogairby steigw,I agree with MacGriogair. The ability to resize an image to set for wallpaper is broken. Regardless of the parallax feature settings.

Nov 13, 2013 5:35 AM in response to Susan588by DrCarnac,I agree with both MacGriogair and steigw the move and set image simple does not work. Ironic since it was one of my favorite features for both the iPhone and iPad prior to the "upgrade" to iOS7.

Dec 14, 2013 7:50 AM in response to Susan588by tmvega,★HelpfulTake a screenshot of the picture you want. (To screenshot press the top right button and the home button at the same time. Also make sure before you screenshot you tap the photo to get the black background) Then take that new screenshot of your picture and use that for your wallpaper. It's easier to go into photos and chose the new screenshot and then wallpaper it. Its annoying I know.
