Blank customizer page

    I am new to WordPress. I successfully completed installation. However, when I go to customize my site (on localhost), I get a screen that says “You are customizing [SiteName]; the rest of the page is blank. This occurs with all themes. I have already deactivated all plugins.

    Thank you in advance to all the wonderful people who volunteer here to help others. It is a great kindness and you make the world a better place.

    Sincerely,
    Wilson

    What version of PHP are you using?

    I am using 7.3.21.

    That should be fine though PHP 7.3 is nearing end of life so I’d recommend you use 7.4 or higher.

    Have you checked the error log or tried enabling WP_DEBUG?

    The following line shows up several times in my PHP error log:
    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\wamp64\www\olfif.grow\wp-admin\includes\theme.php on line 607.

    The following are lines 606-608 of theme.php from the folder referenced above:
    if ( ‘query_themes’ === $action ) {
    foreach ( $res->themes as $i => $theme ) {
    $res->themes[ $i ] = (object) $theme;
    }

    I have just enabled WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG. After checking the customizer page (still blank), WP has not yet created an error log (that I can find in the wp-content folder).

    Thank you so much for taking time to help.

    I also just noticed the following line in my PHP error log:
    [29-Oct-2021 10:52:03 UTC] WordPress database error Unknown column ‘wp_’ in ‘field list’ for query SELECT wp_

    I have a suspicion that this is the culprit; it is the first line from my current session–all previous errors are from two months ago. But, I have no clue how to interpret it.

    Found a couple threads that might help. Seems like there’s a variety of causes for this

    After reading the links you provided and doing a little more research, I took a brief nap, uninstalled WAMP, reinstalled WAMP, and downloaded WordPress anew. With all fresh everything, I have a customizer screen. This is probably what I should have done to begin with; but, I’ve not slept a lot recently and am a bit under the weather.

    Thank you so very much for your time. You are wonderful!
