“Kirki” Error website broke

@romik84 tested and fixed! Thanks so much for the solution, website is back up and running.

Seems to do the trick for me also ??

@scottyskungfu , @helihautala thanks, appreciate it!

@romik84, I had the same issue in a WPMU installation, solved with your code in customizer.php
Thank you

@localport New update 3.9.8. resolves everything

Hi Romik,

I hereby confirm your change in line 1142:

if ( is_customize_preview() ) {
evolve_call_customize_register();
}

This has worked for me on two sites.

Thanks!

thanks everyone ??

I have lost both front and backend access getting HTTP ERROR 500. Someone suggested to rename evolve theme into something else within cPanel so wp switch to default theme. However I do not have any other theme installed within my wordpress installation (I have deleted all except Evolve) and I don’t know how to make a fix ?

Any solution appreciated. Just please try to make it’s description noob friendly as much as possible as my skills are close to complete beginner ??

UPDATE:
After triple reading of the replies I have figured out what to change and where and looks like error is gone being able to log in. Thanks everyone for instructions !

P.S. Hopefully future updates won’t break the theme again.

Fix worked like a charm -thanks @romik84 for providing it.

Around 1 hour ago I opened my WP admin page by my pc (win.7), and I got the error, but after 10 min I tried the same page with my tab (win.10) and no error whatsoever!
Then I updated the theme to 3.9.8, everything is fine and stable!

Thanks for your effort and great service @romik84! Good job.
