The customize site preview tool on Wordpress will not load. Any ideas? I can't view a preview of my site.

When I click on "Customize" on Wordpress, the dashboard appears, but the preview of my site will not load. It just loops and loops.

Ivy, did you change any of the coding for the customizer, like adding a new setting? If you did try to add a new setting, what did you set your transport to?

'postMessage' gives you a live preview, 'refresh' calls for a web page refresh to view your changes

I'm not sure if you were doing development live on your site or if you just have a temporary WP bug. Are you developing locally?
