Weird behavior of font management in multisite mode

  • I try to use the plugin in WordPress multisite, in order to allow users to manage their custom fonts.

    The behaviors I see:

    • When one user adds custom fonts to a theme (e.g. TwentyTwenty-Three) those fonts appear for other users of the theme as well. They are shared across the multi-site.
    • With the same theme (TwentyTwenty-Three), all users see the custom fonts on the plugin’s Font management screen, but some of them do not see them in the Styles or content editor (only the theme’s default fonts are visible). This is unexplainable to me as they are on the same multisite, using the same theme, with no other plugins active.

  • Hi @targz-1,

    Do you use it installed per subsite or network-wide? If you are activating for the whole network, can you try to enable per-site…

    Honestly, it wasn’t designed to work for multisite or enabled for the whole network. I get your use case, but I believe it is a bit out of the plugin’s goal, as the primary design is to allow you to create block themes and (optionally) import these across different sites.

    I believe it would be more reliable if your users export a child theme for Twenty Twenty-Three on a regular installation depending on the skills and experience of your users.

    Hi @foosantos ,

    Thank you for your comments. The plugin is enabled per-site.

    I suppose that with the Font Library feature announced on the WP 6.4 roadmap, this part of Create Block Theme will be handled differently in the near future.

    Hi @targz-1,

    I believe this feature would likely be added directly from Gutenberg itself once it is merged to core, as this plugin really works independently as a way to create block themes.
