# WordPress Theme Customizer Not Saving Changes

 * The WordPress customizer is not saving any of my changes. Here is a video showing
   the problem.
 * This is happened in both the Twenty-seventeen theme, but also in one of the previous
   versions (sixteen or fifteen).
 * While there is no visual indication onscreen, the console tells me it’s getting
   a 404 error on admin-ajax.php and/or load-scripts.php
 * I’m hosting with A Small Orange.
 * Help?

 * This seems to be a common problem. I’ve been experiencing it too and looking 
   for a solution. And if you inspect the customizer in Chrome and check for console
   errors, it says “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status 
   of 404 (Not Found)”

 * Sorry I failed to post the answer I found. If you go to YouTube and watch the
   video I posted above, you’ll see someone else offered up the solution.
 * Activate a DIFFERENT theme, then activate the theme that’s giving you problems.
   Weird trick, but it seems to work for me.
 * Good luck!

 * Hi Clark, thanks for posting your solution. Did you find any changes occurred
   after changing the theme, or is it safe to flick between themes like that without
   changing or resetting the style?
