How can I remove the Google fonts?

Hi there,
add this

function _remove_google_fonts() {

    wp_deregister_script( 'olsen-light-google-font' );

}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', '_remove_google_fonts', 20 );

in your child themes functions.php
If you decide to proceed with this modification I would suggest you create a child theme, copy over the files you are editing and make the modifications there. This will allow your changes to survive future theme updates. If you directly edit the theme’s files, all changes will be lost once you update.

Have a look at this guide to learn more about child themes and how to create one https://www.cssigniter.com/ignite/beginners-guide-child-themes/

Make sure no other plugin is loading Google Fonts. Also you might need to remove all Lato and Lora font references from your style.css file
Let me know if you need additional help with this.

Hi,

thank you for the quick support. A child theme with functions.php already exists. I have already made some small adjustments about it.
I inserted the code into the functions.php of the child-theme and loaded the file onto the server.

Unfortunately, the two fonts are still displayed and the link to google is still present in the source code. Server cache is disabled. Browser cache is deleted.

What now?

Thank you and best regards

Hi Fotis, I tried a little to remove the font with your code and with some adjustments (replacing the wp_deregister_script call by wp_deregister_style), but it will always remove all styles from the parent theme. I guess that relates to line 108 in the parent theme’s function.php, whereas the font is set as a dependency for the olsen-light-style – key. If I remove any of the dependency, it will not add the olsen-light-style to the head.

wp_enqueue_style( 'olsen-light-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array(
		// 'olsen-light-google-font',
		'olsen-light-base',
		'olsen-light-common',
		'font-awesome',
		'olsen-light-magnific',
		'olsen-light-slick',
		'olsen-light-mmenu'
	), $theme->get( 'Version' ) );

Commenting out line 108 and line 99 (registering the font) works, but breaks update possibility.

Hey there,
you are correct, try this

function _remove_google_fonts() {

    wp_deregister_style( 'olsen-light-google-font' );
		wp_register_style( 'olsen-light-google-font', '');

}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', '_remove_google_fonts', 120 );

instead. It will remove the fonts but keep the styling!

Thanks, that worked!
