 * [@farmersavenue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farmersavenue/) Are you 
   having trouble opening the Customizer at all?
 * If that’s what you mean, you can try ruling out a plugin conflict by temporarily
   deactivating all your plugins. Does the problem persist? If the problem is gone,
   reactivate your plugins one-by-one, look at the site in between each reactivation,
   to find the conflict.

   back.

 * Glad it’s working now. If the problem comes back, try the plugin deactivation
   technique I mentioned above. You can also try turning off browser extensions 
   temporarily to see if something might be interfering.
