Some fonts suddenly stopped working

  • The font selections on my of my site have suddenly stopped working, both in the posts (where I use Supreme Google webfonts to add the fonts to the tiny MCE editor) and in the headings and widget titles where they are added and controlled by Easy Google Fonts. The font control set up for the post titles is still working though.

    Using Inspect Element I can see that the code is still there to render the fonts correctly, but for some reason isn’t working.

    I can see the fonts in the classic block editor correctly on the dashboard, but they are no longer working when the post is live.

    I use Graphene theme. Have recently added JetPack Boost and use really simple ssl, advanced editor tools, Fastest cache and WP optimize on the site as well. All themes and plugins are up to date.

    I have tried going into the customizer and reloading all the font controls there. That did not work. I have also tried reinstalling Easy Google fonts, that did not work.

    I have tried turning off JetPack Boost but that does not resolve the issue. That is the only recent plugin change. Prior to that, the fonts were behaving normally.

    Any direction or assistance would be most appreciated.

  • If you look here:
    https://pluginarchive.com/wordpress/fast-velocity-minify/v/2-4-4/2-4-1
    and search for ‘Google Fonts Request’
    you will see where there has been a new line of code added in the diff output:
    “+ $res[‘code’] = str_ireplace(‘font-style:normal;’, ‘font-display:block;font-style:normal;’, $res[‘code’]);”

    You have this same error in your theme:

    Which indicates that your theme is outdated, or is not accommodating for whatever this loop in the diff is trying to do.

    Then if you scroll down to line 779 of your page, you see you are using a different method to load Lato from Google fonts:

    There is a LOT going on with fonts on your site. Without commenting on that part, I think you could start by reaching out the theme developer or their support forum:

    Also, would recommend disabling your cache while you are troubleshooting.

    Thank you so much for your very specific and insightful help. You definitely went over and above, especially giving a line of code for the error. (Absolutely no sarcasm here!) It was hugely helpful in identifying what was going on.

    Ended up pulling off all the font plugins and directly importing the necessary fonts into a child theme, then coded CSS font controls into the customizer’s custom CSS. Granted I had to call in the big guns and get help from a family member who actually knows how to code, but we’d never have gotten there without your help pinpointing the problem.

    I truly appreciate your generous assistance! Thank you.

    Lol, no problem. ??
    Good to know you have access to the big guns to complete what you needed.
