I am facing the same problem just an hour ago!
Hi, @victortorneiros and @nohaqais!
There is an issue with Hestia and WordPress 5.8, the Customizer panels don’t work. Our developers are already aware of this problem and they are currently working on a fix.
Thank you and have a nice day!
We have released an update for Hestia and now the Customizer options should work properly with WordPress 5.8.
Thank you and have a nice day!
Same problem with the sister theme “Neve”.
That was resolved here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-5-8-wont-work-with-neve/
It was to clear the server cache and browser cache, then try again.
For the browser, its best to use the hard reload (refresh): CTRL+F5
Thanks for sharing the solution for the issue you encountered!
I am also facing the problem of customize section not working since last one month. Even the look of widget section has also changed. I have installed “hummingbird plugin” and after that I noticed this problem. Though I have uninstalled that plugin, but the problem still persists. I can’t understand is this problem happened due to that plugin or it is a problem of Hestia theme. Kindly give me a suggestion of resolving it.
With the latest hestia update, the issue was resolved.
