Disable/Switch for Google hosted Fonts

  • Hi Anders,

    I hope you are reading this. In the wake of the European GDPR, it is doubtful that when you visit WordPress pages with Baskerville theme, data is transferred to Google for font retrieval. A German court has now prohibited this practice as well. Would it therefore be possible that a switch is built into the theme, where you can decide for yourself whether the fonts are used locally or from the cloud?

    Hi @gouranga,

    I don’t do much active development on my older themes nowadays, other than to make sure they remain compatible with new versions of WordPress, so it’s unlikely I’ll add that feature to Baskerville. You can install the plugin Disable and Remove Google Fonts to disable Google Fonts in the theme.

    Alright, but also thanks, because I didn′t know that such a plugin exist!

    There was an option added 2018, check readme.txt:

    Version 1.27 (2018-10-07)
-------------------------
- Added option to disable Google Fonts with a translateable string

    But I haven’t found where to disable using that string yet
