I have noticed this several times: when working on my themes, when I refresh the screen while a page is plotting, somehow WordPress seems to reset the theme from my custom theme back to the default WordPress theme. This appears to be a bug. I have to go in to the site admin options and reactivate the custom theme.

Posted 5 years ago #I think this happens when WordPress encounters a page load request at the same time the style.css file is being written. Probably WordPress sees that the file is inaccessible and then reverts to the default theme. A fix would be to change the WordPress core to wait about 5 seconds when WordPress sees that style.css or any other file is inaccessible, and try again before doing the change. This situation is pretty common when one has a heavily loaded server - it was happening to me a few times a day, a while back. Possibly there is a way, too, for WordPress to differentiate the ways in which a file is not accessible.
