Image links to fonts.googleapis

  • Using W3 Total Cache, I noticed I had some dead links. On further digging these turned out to be 3 small image files (so small I hadn’t noticed they’d gone). The path to these files is now indicated as:

    https://fonts.googleapis.com/wp-content/themes/fitness-wp/img/bground.jpg
    https://fonts.googleapis.com/wp-content/themes/fitness-wp/img/bullets.png
    https://fonts.googleapis.com/wp-content/themes/fitness-wp/img/footer_submit.png

    Clearly, fonts.googleapis.com should be my site (swanseawheelers.co.uk)

    Does anyone have any idea how to correct this or how it may have happened? I haven’t ammended the CSS to include anything from Google.

    Thanks

    Aha, well, it’s something in the minify settings of W3 Total Cache. Yet to find the culprit or how and why it does it.

    @mhk1058
    Just had the same problem – certain images having fonts.googleapis.com appended to the image URL.
    Here’s what I did to fix – I’m using W3TC Minify in manual mode

    I had 2 google font file links in page source

    //fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald&#038 ….
    &
    //fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Sans&#038 ….

    When I set up Minify – these got identified by the /css part of the string, so I mistakenly included them

    After removing these 2 links from the Minify settings, the problem is fixed.

    OK, that was my error – I didn’t notice the /css wasn’t DOT CSS – url/filename.css ??

    If this happened using the automatic CSS minify – I guess the plugin also identified the files by the css in the string
    If so, Frederick might consider modding the code so it looks strictly for .css
