Reviews

Gave up on this one now using another one.

Nick August 28, 2024 2 replies

Had the same problem as others on the forum: selected Google fonts aren’t visible in the elementor dropdown box. I disabled all other plugins except Elementor. No joy. The administrators say it works for them. So good luck with that. I also tried downloading the fonts I wanted and uploading them again to Custom Fonts but this caused other problems. Have now dumped Custom Fonts and use another plugin.

Italics mess up the entire font and must be uploaded as a a separate font

annssi July 31, 2024 7 replies

Italics are not working. As soon as they are added as a font variant all variants are shown as italics. Thus you need to set-up the italics as a separate font which makes it really cumbersome to use.This problem has been around for over a year and it seems nothing has been done to fix it. Not impressed. ??

Best font management plugin

skylabb June 27, 2024 1 reply

There are probably a dozen of fonts plugins out there with many if not most of them still use Customizer interface. Moving forward with the future of Wordpress, you want the plugin to be compatible with Full Site Editing framework, and this plugin works well with the new framework.

error: custom-fonts/classes/class-bsf-custom-fonts-render.php?on line?194

revayatejahad May 13, 2024 3 replies

in lines 194 of following path, there was a problem … In the provided code snippet, the issue was occurring in the remove_custom_font_google_url method. This method is responsible for removing custom fonts from the Google fonts URL array. The problem was with the line: php code: if ( $value[‘font_fallback’] ) { Here, the code was trying to access the font_fallback index of $value directly without ensuring that $value[‘font_fallback’] exists and is not null. This could lead to issues if $value[‘font_fallback’] is not set. To fix this, I made the following changes: I added a check to see if $value[‘font_fallback’] exists and is not null using isset(): php code: if ( isset( $value[‘font_fallback’] ) && $value[‘font_fallback’] ) { If $value[‘font_fallback’] exists and is not null, then $value[‘font_fallback’] is appended to $font_key. Otherwise, $font_key remains the same. By adding this check, we ensure that the code doesn’t try to access an undefined index, which could lead to the “Trying to access array offset on value of type bool” warning. Instead, it first checks if the index exists before attempting to access it.

SO much better than other plugins, so easy to use

emily2024 April 30, 2024 1 reply

The last plugin I tried before this had a paywall to upload more than one weight variation of one font. Unbelievable. Considering most good fonts have 8+ variations, I thought other plugins were probably running the same scheme BUT this plugin literally allows you to upload not just as many variations as you want but several different families as well. In the FREE version!! This plugin is a godsend

Italics Don’t Work in Elementor Editor

joedwork1 April 20, 2024 2 replies

Thanks for making the plugin, integrated seamlessly for bold/regular fonts. If I make font styles/add the Woff2 italic assets as italics within the same font family as regular and bold fonts in the control panel, Elementor gravitates to the italic font and makes everything italic regardless if default/regular is selected in the style dropdown of Elementor editor. For now I have to make separate fonts for italic and regular versions and ignore the italic/regular selector in Elementor Page builder. Or probably forever because I see a bad review regarding this from 9 months time ago The good news is that if Italic is selected for the base font already set throughout the site in Elementor Editor, Elementor attempts to augment the Italic, just not with the assets provided since those have to be a separate font within this plugins control panel in reality.
