 * [Using theme: Minimal Zerif] When I attempt to make updates using the customize
   button, it throws an error:
 * [website name].. currently unable to handle this request.
    HTTP ERROR 500
 * When I change the theme, this issues resolves. Contacted host, they said the 
   error is specific to the theme and not a memory issue, or plug-in issue. Recommendations?
   Thoughts?
