php - wp_head makes my custom page template not work in Customizer?

I have a weird issue where if I am in the Customizer and visit a page which uses a custom page template I made it doesn't load the site in the preview. But I can see that it loads in the console. I found out that the <?php wp_head(); ?> was the issue. If I remove this part in the site template PHP file it loads just fine. But of course it doesn't look or work right.

I use <?php wp_head(); ?> and <?php wp_footer(); ?> because the rest of the theme uses a different header and footer, so I don't want to call get_footer and get_header (also this doesn't solve the problem I am having).

Any ideas why this is happening?

• Do you have anything custom hooked into wp_head on that template? – Jacob Peattie Commented Nov 24, 2018 at 12:34
• Nothing, just searched through my complete theme folder. – joq3 Commented Nov 24, 2018 at 12:37
• Scripts are enqueued on wp_head remember. – Jacob Peattie Commented Nov 24, 2018 at 12:47
• Tried removing all the enqueue scripts from the theme, no change. – joq3 Commented Nov 24, 2018 at 12:54

you can try this way:

<?php get_header('your_custom_header');?>
<?php get_footer('your_custom_footer');?>
