 * I was working on a site for a client and when I refreshed the theme options I
   lost everything in the custom CSS field. I tried refreshing the page, logging
   in/out. Still nothing. Is there any way to recover those edits?

 * Consider trying to find any page from the site in a Google search. Hopefully 
   there will be a little down arrow to the right of the url, and this leads to 
   a cached version of the page. If using the Chrome browser, control-u will bring
   up the page source. In the head section you’ll find some meta tags, some links
   and scripts, then your custom css and finally some theme css before the body 
   tag.

 * [@brian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brian/).haferkamp, Try deactivating
   plugins and see if that doesn’t return your options and settings.

 * Hey, You wrote “when I refreshed the theme options” the settings were lost. Did
   you refresh as in restore defaults? Or just save the page? If you lost data when
   you tried to save the page that can happen if your servers php settings aren’t
   allowing enough memory to the scripts.
 * check your max php memory setting. I recommend increasing it.
