Can’t see widget areas in my customizer

WordPress widgets are context dependent, that means if any templates use the dynamic_sidebar() function or in other words has any sidebar or widget area in that template then you’ll see widgets in the customizer. For instance, if page.php has sidebar then when you’re in a page you’ll see widgets in the customizer.
