Use Any Font Update Breaking WordPress

    I have the professional version of Use Any Font installed on a few WordPress websites. Yesterday I updated the plugins (including Use Any Font) on a website using the 2021 WordPress theme. Everything looked fine from the outside, but when editing pages and posts, all the content was pushed to the left and the option to make an image full width or wide width was not available. Deactivating all the plugins did not fix it. I was able to fix it by uploading the 2021 theme again and replacing Active theme with the new upload of 2021.

    However, this morning I logged into the website again and updated 3 plugins that had new versions come in overnight (including Use Any Font). Again, in the editor all the content on Pages and Posts was pushed to the left. So, I went to the staging version of the website and updated each of the 3 plugins one by one checking the Posts/Pages after each one. Everything was find until updating Use Any Font. The same issue appeared. So, again, I had to re-upload the downloaded version of the 2021 Theme and replace the Active theme with the new upload of 2021 to fix the website.

    Next I went to a different site. This one uses the 2020 WordPress theme and Use Any Font. Again, I did all updates and checked after each. The site again broke once Use Any Font was updated. So, I used a backup restore from a few days ago. The site editor still pushed content to the left and the option to make an image full-width or wide-width was still removed even though the plugins needed to be updated. This time I updated plugins and themes and checked after each one. I waited to update for the 2020 Theme for last. When I updated it everything was fixed.

    I believe this is a glitch between Use Any Font and WordPress that can be fixed when the WordPress theme is updated after Use Any Font. Since I fixed it I don’t need help. But I want you to be aware of the issue.

    Hi @manellyc,

    Thank you so much for your detailed explanation, and I apologize for the inconvenience you experienced.

    Starting from version 6.3.08, we introduced a feature that automatically creates a theme.json file in your theme (if it doesn’t already exist) to enable font additions in the block editor.

    Previously, we encountered a similar issue with the Genesis theme, which wasn’t compatible with the theme.json file. Could you let me know which theme you’re using?

    Thanks!

    I am seeing this on the 2021 and 2020 WordPress Themes. I have not yet looked at my 2024 websites that use this plugin.

    @manellyc ,

    Can you name the theme that are being used in your 2021 and 2020 WordPress sites.

    Thanks

    I am also experiencing the same problem. Could you solve the problem quickly?

    I am using generatepress theme

    Hi folks! I am experiencing the same issue. We do use Studiopress Genesis theme framework — we’ve got over 100 past sites we support all using this combination with your fabulous plugin. Should we roll back to 6.3.07? Any hope for future compatibility?

    In version 6.3.09 of our plugin, we added a theme.json file to all themes. However, this caused issues with non-block styles, and we have removed this feature in version 6.3.10.

    After updating to the latest version of our plugin, please follow these steps:

    1. Manually Delete the theme.json File: If your theme has a theme.json file added from Use Any Font previous version, please delete it from:
      wp-content/themes/YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME/theme.json
    2. Alternatively, Update or Re-install Your Theme: This will also remove the theme.json file automatically.

    Thank you so much! Updating the plugin to 6.3.10 then deleting the theme.json file did the trick.

    Question: we have 60ish sites that are still on 6.3.07 — for those, if we upgrade straight to 6.3.10 will the theme.json file never get created, so we don’t need to worry about going in and deleting it?

    @mattdotcom,

    Ya. If you are directly updating from 6.3.07 to 6.3.10 then our plugin won’t create any theme.json file. So no need to delete it.

    Thanks

    Great, thank you! Really appreciate the speedy work resolving this!!
