 * I am using this plugin ‘Post in Sidebr’ with the theme WP MACCHIATO and has discovered
   that this plugin is blocking the theme customisation. The customisation panels(
   probably AJAX) are not opening if this plug in is installed.

 * Hello,
    I just tried that theme with Posts in Sidebar and all is working fine.
   Have you tried disabling other plugins?

 * Hi,
    Thanks for your response. Yes, I have deactivated all the plugins and tested
   it. Only this plugin is causing problem. It worked like a switch. The moment 
   I deactivated the plugin theme customization panel appears. The moment I activate
   the plugin the customzation panel not loading. But I need to see whether this
   plugin is clashing with any other plugin. I will get back after doing further
   experiments.

 * Hi,
    Here again. I deleted the plugin and reinstalled it. Now the theme customization
   panel works. Don’t know how it worked. Thanks.

 * Unfortunately, this plugin (Post in Sidebar) is again interfering with the WP
   MACCHIATO theme customization.

 * When I try to open theme customize page, it leads me to settings page of Post
   in Sidebar.
    When I deactivate this plugin and open the theme customize page 
   it works properly.

 * Some questions:
 * 1) Do you mean that when you click on Appearance > Customize, WordPress leads
   you to the widgets management page? (since there isn’t any Posts in Sidebar settings
   page).
 * 2) Have you tried activating the theme Macchiato and **ONLY** Posts in Sidebar?
 * 3) Does this theme have a proprietary customization panel/page?
