Comment (by bloomhejm):

 WordPress. The error message you provided indicates that there is an issue
 with the WP_Customize_Header_Image_Control class and its
 process_default_headers() method being called on a non-object. This error
 typically occurs when you attempt to use the Customizer with a theme that
 doesn't support custom headers.
 Here's a possible solution to handle this error by checking whether the
 WP_Customize_Header_Image_Control object exists before calling its
 methods:


 {{{#!php
 <?php
 if ( class_exists( 'WP_Customize_Header_Image_Control' ) ) {
     $custom_image_header = new WP_Customize_Header_Image_Control(
 $wp_customize );
     if ( is_object( $custom_image_header ) ) {
         // Process custom header controls here
     }
 }
 }}}

 This code snippet checks if the WP_Customize_Header_Image_Control class
 exists, and if it does, it attempts to create an instance of it. Then, it
 checks if the instance is a valid object before proceeding to process
 custom header controls.
