Customizer.php error

It’s a fresh install without changes on it.

I think that it happens when I go to customize the theme by the admin panel.

Thank you.

Hi Ben,

1.I’m using the version 4.3.1 of WordPress.
I’ve just installed it one week ago.

2. I don’t have any pages, but only posts.
Could be this the problem?
