    I am just building child theme for one theme, and I had over 800 lines of CSS there, and after last save only 200 of them left.

    How this happened. After save I got some error, I refreshed and I was redirected to some wordpress backend part I didn’t understood and I gone to Simple CSS under appearance and there was only 200 lines.

    I invested so much time in this, can you please help me somehow, is there any way or hope to retrive all this work? :/

    Hi there,

    What was the error you got? There shouldn’t be any limit to the amount of CSS you add in there.

    However, that is a lot of CSS – you might be better off having it inside the child theme style.css file. Your server might have a limit to how much data is saved to the database.

    Hi Tom,

    I managed somehow to retreive it from cached version of my site, but unfortunately it happened again I pressed Save changes and I got this:

    After loading editor again half of my CSS dissapeared, but now I have it backuped, but still I lost some new CSS. I am not sure why is this happening, do you have some assumptions?

    Something going on with the server.

    If it only happens when saving your CSS, it most likely means it’s simply too much data to send to your database (most likely a server limit).

    I would suggest sticking to a child theme, or talking to your server about a solution.
