# Customizer is “Wonky”

 * Not sure if this is a Kadence thing, a WordPress thing, or completely on my end,
   somehow: I go to Customize > Colors and choose Palette 2. I change the Base color
   and it changes. But only on the Front Page; if I go to other pages, it doesn’t
   show the newly selected color. And then if I come back to the front page, the
   old color is there, even though the new color appears in the selector. I tried
   zapping my browser’s cache and the WordPress cache, and this behavior continues.
   Does anyone else get this behavior, or is it somehow just me? Thanks!

 * Hi [@davidsortof](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidsortof/) ,
 * Happy to help.
 * I am unable to replicate this on my website. When I select Palette 2 and change
   the Base color, the new color is applied correctly across my pages, as shown 
   in this screencast:
   [https://www.loom.com/share/f925570e835b4af993faef191a51f895](https://www.loom.com/share/f925570e835b4af993faef191a51f895)
 * To troubleshoot this, could you please try the following:
    1. Temporarily disable any caching/optimization plugins: If you are using a caching
       or optimization plugin, please disable it completely and clear your website 
       and browser caches.
    2. Check for a plugin conflict: Temporarily deactivate all non-Kadence plugins 
       and then check whether the Palette 2 Base color is applied correctly across 
       your pages. If the issue goes away, reactivate the plugins one at a time to 
       identify which one is causing the conflict.
 * Please let me know how this goes.

 * Thanks Eze! And thanks especially for making that recording. It made me realize
   that one of the things I’m doing differently is that I’m never hitting publish.
   So, perhaps this is a “behavioral” thing. ; ) If I choose a new color and hit
   publish, the new color sticks across all pages.
 * I guess, this “behavior” I’m doing involves picking a color, seeing how it looks
   across the site, adding a new color, etc., and only then, once I have everything
   looking good, hitting publish. But I can change my behavior and publish/republish
   until it looks good.
 * Just curious, if you try my behavior, do the colors not stick, as I’ve described
   it?

 * Hi [@davidsortof](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidsortof/),
 * Thanks for the additional information.
 * I tried following the same behavior you described, changing the Palette 2 Base
   color without clicking Publish, and the new base colors are applied immediately,
   even before I publish the changes.
 * Here is a screencast for reference:

 * Could you also confirm whether you have had a chance to try the troubleshooting
   steps I provided earlier?

 * Hi Ese, thanks for checking. Yes, I tried disabling all non-kadence plug-ins (
   only 1, a caching plug-in) and cleared all caches, and all that had no effect.
