    I just moved to a new VPS from shared hosting, so not sure if that has something to do with this, but when I go to customize the theme, I get an error 500

    Hello There,

    Thanks for writing in! A white screen or error 500 usually means there is a fatal PHP error. Can you please enable WP_DEBUG mode? You can do this by opening wp-config.php and adding
    define( 'WP_DEBUG' , true ); just above /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ For example:

    define('WP_DEBUG', true);

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

    When you revisit the page with the white screen, you should have some error output describing the issue in more detail.

    Please let us know how it goes.
