 * I posted this on the WP installation issues forum but after some research, I’ve
   been led to believe this is a theme issue.
 * This website was existing and I am updating with wordpress to build a new site.
   I installed wordpress in a subdirectory called /mockups/. Although not complete,
   we decided to go live. I copied the .htaccess file and the index.php to the root,
   changed the directory name in the index file to include the correct subdirectory
   for the header, and I changed the site address in settings.
 * Everything works fine except (so far that I can tell) customizer. I CAN make 
   changes with it BUT I get redirected to a snarky little screen that says I am
   cheating after a while. lol! And when in customizer, and before I get redirected,
   the screen that normally shows the website and any changes I make, is the white
   screen of death.
 * Using Palette theme, a child theme of Lakshmi Lite.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdirectory-migration-breaks-customizer%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
