Additional CSS keeps getting lost

    Hi!
    Since a few months already, every now and then my wordpress site loses all the css rules that I have added via customize / Additional CSS and I have to manually recover it and add it back.


    The weird thing is that I can find that rules on the DB where it belongs: Table wp_posts -> post_type = ‘custom_css’ -> “post_content”

    But any of that content is on the customize / Additional CSS field…

    Does anybody knows why this might happen?

    For more context:
    – The “Enhance CSS customization panel” option is not activated.
    – I have WP Super Cache installer, but I’ve tried to deactivated and same thing happended
    – The theme I use uses WPBakery Page Builder

    It’s that really necessary? Sorry, last time I added the web url in here I was receiving email spam from “wordpress expert” during 2 months 😅

    I don’t think there is much to see on the web site. From the public point of view, the only thing changing is that the inline CSS added as additional CSS is not appearing on the rendered HTML (or it is when I fix it).
    In the admin the css is not the corresponding field, but If I run this SQL query on DB:

    SELECT post_content FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = ‘custom_css’;

    I do get all the CSS rules.

    What I do not understand is why all of the suddenmy wordpress installation starts ignoring that info from DB

    I want to do a view-source to see if the CSS is there. Note that custom CSS is theme-specific, so if you change the theme from the one at the time in use when you set the CSS, it will not carry forward to another theme.

    Sorry the late reply, I missed the notification.

    I’ve checked several times and when this happens, the CSS is never in the source code (I’m a frontend developer).

    I have never changed the theme since I made the site. The weird thing is that this had happened even during times that I have not even logged into the administrator. That is why I think that it may be a process that trigger the issue. But even then: why if the custom CSS is in the DB is not being applied nor in the frontend nor in the custom css admin field?

    I’m not going to speculate without a link and a screenshot showing the Additional CSS panel.

    Well, so I will have to wait until the issue get triggered again because is currently fixed, so the CSS is on the source code and in the Additional CSS panel.
    It happens every few weeks…
