Dashboard and Front Page shows weird Chinese and Rectangles

  • I have migrated my wordpress site from DreamHost to BLueHost manually, transferring over all the db’s and everything. After I made a successful migration, I see these weird chinese characters show up in the place of icons. Social Icons, navigation icons, dropdown menu icons, every icon is either in Chinese or a rectangle. I thought it was a theme issue; but my wordpress’s dashboard icons are also showing the same weird rectangles.
    The below images show the weird icons. I have highlighted them in red boxes (I used paint, don’t judge).
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  • From looking at it, it appears that there’s a cross-origin issue.

    The fonts are loading from https://techfission.com/, but the domain is https://www.techfission.com/, which appears to be causing the issue.

    Try having a look at the Settings > General, and then look at WordPress Address URL & Site Address URL, see if there is a difference.

    Though I’d probably recommend contacting your hosting, but that seems to be the issue.

    Both my site Address URL and the WordPress Address URL are the same: https://www.techfission.com (The ‘/’ at the end which appears when copy pasting the URL is not present there; please see the image linked below)

    I have already contacted my Hosting (BlueHost), they are referring me to the WordPress support page, as they they think it’s a WordPress issue.

    Same problem only on the live site, not the back end. Upon flushing server cache the appropriate icons sometimes reappear. I do have a font origin conflict from my browser inspector (Chrome):

    Font from origin ‘https://climatediscovery.org’ has been blocked from loading by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy: No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource. Origin ‘https://www.climatediscovery.org’ is therefore not allowed access.

    Exactly what do I tell my host to fix? WordPress General settings are https://climatediscovery.org

    The way (very likely) this happened was that I added my https certificate “after” I began working on this new site. In other words, when I began this new site development, the url was http, now after adding the security certificate the url is https and I have this cross-origin font conflict.

    Thanks! B
