# Customization Broke My Theme

 * I was using the Customization feature for my theme (in Edge, which may be the
   issue)
 * After making a very minor change, just changing one of the words in the boxes,
   I can no longer access my site, nor can I access the customization options. When
   I try to access my site, I get:
 * PHP Warning: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in C:\Inetpub\
   vhosts\insightvillage.ca\httpdocs\wp-includes\shortcodes.php on line 191
    PHP
   Warning: preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in C:\Inetpub\
   vhosts\insightvillage.ca\httpdocs\wp-includes\shortcodes.php on line 202
 * When I try to access the customization page, I get:
 * PHP Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given
   in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\insightvillage.ca\httpdocs\wp-includes\formatting.php on
   line 3438
 * I can access the rest of my site, though it looks wrong now. I also can access
   the rest of my dashboard.
 * I tried deleting and reinstalling the theme, hoping that would fix it, but it
   didn’t.
 * My site is [http://www.insightvillage.ca](http://www.insightvillage.ca)
 * Please help. I really need my site back up.
