You have a syntax error somewhere in your code. Usually the error message will tell you what line the error is on, otherwise, can you please post your code so we can help you out?

Hey Tiffany thanks so much for your help. I was able to figure out the problem by replacing the customize.php file with a new one from Github. Once updated, Wordpress allowed me to customize my site successfully!
