Subresource Integrity (SRI) for GDPR

    When using the Author theme I was verifying the website regarding GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliance and found that there is one font resource referenced externally which is an issue. The problem is in the file inc\scripts.php using fonts.googleapis.com as an external reference. To avoid GDPR related issues with calling external references (and also for reliability reasons) could you change the theme to include this resource locally in the theme itself?

    Thanks for using Author!

    Here is a child theme you can install on your site to remove Google Fonts: https://share.getcloudapp.com/5zuLvZdm. You can install it like a normal theme through the Appearance menu and it will remove the external requests.

    WordPress is going to release a new Web Fonts API soon that will make it easier for themes to self-host Google Fonts, and I will implement Author’s fonts locally once that happens. That should be in WP 6.0.

    Thanks for the quick response and “Hotfix” child theme which is working fine. I will check back with the updates of the original Author theme when WP 6.0 is released.
