“Roboto” Google Webfont on every WordPress admin page?

  • Resolved Ov3rfly

    6 years, 7 months ago

    We have two installations of Wordfence 7.1.3 on WordPress 4.9.5 with completely identical visible Wordfence settings at “All Options”.

    The first (older, several times updated upto 7.1.3) installation does the following, the second (new installed 7.1.3) one does not.

    The current user IP address and browser information is sent to a third party server fonts.googleapis.com on each and every WordPress admin page.

    Reason is this code:

    WF 7.1.3, lib/wfOnboardingController.php:61

    /**
    * Enqueues the scripts and styles we need globally on the backend for onboarding.
    */
    public static function _enqueue_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_style(‘wordfence-font’, ‘https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,300i,400,400i,500,500i,700,700i,900,900i’, ”, WORDFENCE_VERSION);
    …

    How can we configure the first installation so that it does not include this on every WordPress admin page any more?

    Is there an “onboarding” or similar setting somewhere?

    This might be an issue for #gdpr-compliance as well.

    Any progress here?

    Same issue with WF 7.1.4

    Hi @ov3rfly!
    This was deferred due to higher priorities but it’s on our to-do list. Should be coming in one of our next releases. Our internal case number for reference is FB6960.
