Hi Ben,

it happened again – suddenly my custom settings in Theme options were reseted to default, the same thing that I reported a few days ago. Now I was able to trace my actions: I created a new custom sidebar in Misc settings and saved my changes. The browser started to refresh but halted, in the url field there was /wp-admin/options.php – I waited for a minute or so and faced a 500 system error. Refreshed the browser and landed to /wp-admin/options.php view – went back to Theme options and goosh all my custom tweaks were reseted. I made all the changes back (had a back up but to enough recent).

I was away for an hour and came back, went to Misc settings, saved though I had not made any changes and it froze again – the same happened again! Now I’m again in default mode e.g. top bar visible (custom no top bar), custom colours from menus gone, font tweaks reseted, shop page 4 columns (custom 5), google id gone, favicon gone, language settings gone etc

You mentioned that similar may happen when there are two admin views open in browser and you jump from one to another – that is not the case here.

Any idea what might be causing this? Need to get rid of this asap, launching the store on Monday…

Thanks, Hannu
