    HI,

    Can you try publishing customization from C# web service using below code to see if it works.

    xrmdynamicscrm.wordpress.com/.../

    Once it works then try again from UI. If it does not work you can log support ticket with microsoft.

    Please mark my answer verified if i were helpful
