    Due to the upcoming conversion to GDPR we have to deactivate Google Fonts for the time being. Unfortunately, this is not provided for in the theme. Is there a simple solution?

    Are you planning a general attitude towards this? It is an important issue for users in the EU.

    Thanks, Dan

    Hey Dan,

    You can add this function to a child theme to disable Google Fonts from Startup Blog and Startup Blog Pro:

    function ct_startup_blog_child_remove_google_fonts() {
	wp_deregister_style( 'ct-startup-blog-google-fonts' );
	wp_deregister_style( 'ct-startup-blog-pro-primary-google-fonts' );
	wp_deregister_style( 'ct-startup-blog-pro-secondary-google-fonts' );
	wp_deregister_style( 'ct-startup-blog-pro-site-title-google-fonts' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'ct_startup_blog_child_remove_google_fonts', 999);

    Your site doesn’t collect or store any user data by using Google Fonts, so whether or not Google stores user data and how it’s stored is between the user and Google. Google is taking GDPR compliance seriously but there hasn’t been a clear statement from them whether or not Google Fonts is GDPR compliant. I’m going to keep Google Fonts in my themes as-is until a clear answer on compliance is available, but I expect it will not be an issue.
