Saving Site as Template

Sharepoint designer will not save my site as a template - It displays "you do not have access".  I downloaded the latest SD 2013 update and SD works in all other respects for me.  I am the site collection administrator with full control permission.  I checked the Site Collection Features and Sharepoint server publishing infrastructure is NOT activated.  I have run out of ideas??

    Markcpdm in SPO to save site as a template, you will have to enable the custom script.

     

    Please follow the article and check the 

     

    Features affected when custom script is blocked

      I would also recommend to avoid the "Save as template" feature in SPO sites...it's better you take a look at PnP Templates:
      - How to create a PnP Template from a Site.
      - How to use a PnP Template to provision new sites
