Courses Plus Student 13,165 Pointsvar_dump formatting and syntax highlighting
Howdy Zac,
Are you using a browser extension or a WordPress plugin to allow formatting and syntax highlighting on your var_dump($wp_customize)
?
I am having to echo out pre
tags - but that doesn't give me syntax highlighting :-/
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($wp_customize); // debug entire object
// var_dump($wp_customize->panels()); // debug panels
// var_dump($wp_customize->sections()); // debug sections
// var_dump($wp_customize->controls()); // debug controls
echo '</pre>';

Installing the XDEBUG extension for PHP did the trick. They have a nice wizard that will help you properly update your php.ini file.
