    If you are wondering why your panel is visible but disappears after the customizer is fully loaded, it is probably because you added the ‘customizer_register’ action only when is_admin() is true.

    Do this instead:

    if ( is_admin() || is_customize_preview() ) {
        add_action( 'customize_register', 'wpdocs_your_customize_register' );
    }

    Now your panel will not be hidden when the customizer is fully loaded.
