[Resolved] "Cheating, are we?" or neverending load entering Customizer

[Jaakko Pöntinen]

Heya,

I get “Cheating, are we?” error message when trying to enter the theme customizer. I recently bought a domain and pointed it to my wp installation and changed the wp URL from general prefs to point to the domain. Everything works, I have admin privileges but the customizer won’t load or pops up the aforementioned error. What be up with this? 😛

EDIT: Now it seems that I can change the values in the theme customizer, add CSS by Simple CSS and save the theme and see the results in the web page, BUT! I don’t get a live preview in the customizer, it just spins the load icon endlessly.

Hello,

I’ve solved everything, did all kindsa little things, updated permalinks, rechecked the site URL’s, went to user “admin”‘s profile and saved etc etc.

Now all is well.

That “Cheatin’ uh?” message is a WordPress one which typically happens when the two URLs in “Settings > Reading” don’t match.

Glad you figured it out 🙂

Hey,

Yeah, poked here’n’there and got it fixed. That’s close to figuring it out, right? 😛

I just gotta ask: three of you or still two…? 😀 (smiling like stupid here)

Three of us now! Leah came a little early so we’ve been in and out of hospital all week (I’m running on about 4 hours of sleep since Tuesday I think..).

She’s getting better and hoping to come home tomorrow.

Hey,

Congrats, man, to you and to your wife and your daughter! Our little girl Vilma is now two-and-a-half months old, not that big of a difference to your Leah… Maybe they’ll wind up in the same school or something? You never know… 🙂

Again, congrats!
