Hey there,

Thanks for your report and welcome to WordPress Trac! Please note that menus can also be used in widgets. Theme do not need to add support for menus in order for you to use that functionality.

Thank you Swissspidy :)
Yes, the theme do not support widgets, too. (Menus are correct not display in admin menu.)

Hi @elisa-demonki - is this new to 4.7 or has it been this way for a while?

@elisa-demonki I just checked in 4.6 and the issue is there as well. The WP_Customize_Widgets and WP_Customize_Nav_Menus classes need to be checking for widgets and nav-menus theme support respectively before they start adding their extensions. Note that the constructors for each will need to be carefully refactored to move hooks to a later point when after_setup_theme is called. Either this, or at the very least the active_callback can at the very last moment return false for these two panels if the theme support is not present. But it would seem preferable to short-circuit the components entirely when possible.

@elisa-demonki For the time being, you can add a plugin (not in your theme, which is loaded too late) which short-circuits these components from being loaded by doing:

<?php
add_filter( 'customize_loaded_components', function( $components ) {
    return array_filter( $components, function( $component ) {
        return 'widgets' !== $component && 'nav_menus' !== $component;
    } );
} );

This filter was introduced in #33552.
