Site Editor Custom Fonts

  • I would like to add some Google Fonts or self-hosted fonts to my Site. I would also like to configure the Site-Editor to change the fonts. Currently, no matter what I do, the site-editor only lists the default font loaded with the theme. This makes the site-editor nothing but overhead that is not needed. If I can’t change the styles on text in the site-editor, I don’t need the site editor. Any suggestions on how to make google fonts appear in the font-selection controls?

    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this plugin fails to work with the Site Editor. It works with Customizer, but not the Site Editor.

    Not only that, but I try to avoid crippleware. I mean if you want to produce a plugin and charge for it, great. But don’t produce a plugin that has missing features that you have to pay for and call it free. It’s just an ugly, but common way of doing business that I find distasteful. I would rather go to the hassle of making a child theme and adding the fonts manually than to be manipulated into paying for a service that required the company to spend a lot of extra time to cripple their plugin. It would have been easier to just do it right and ask to be paid.

    Still, thanks for your help. Maybe they will update it some day to work with the site editor (and to remove the crippleware in favor of doing it right and justifying getting paid for it)

    Please ask at that plugin’s dedicated support forum if there is a work around so its developers and support community can help you with this.

    If You like, leave a review containing your experience at that plugin.

    You might want to look at what is coming in WP 6.5, due for release next week I think.
