unwanted fonts on my site (gdpr)

    Hello theme team,

    my site uses the spicepress pro theme (bought directly from you), and now I am trying to run my german EU site properly for GDPR regulations (trying to run and have google fonts locally on my webserver)

    I already found the following thread
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/loading-unused-google-fonts-gdpr/

    and tried to add, edit the php-stuff etc, using the instructions from that thread above. But I am arriving at an empty and non-functional website when I am applying those instructions (scripts, php etc…) But I am not a php developer or expert in php and low-level stuff at all.

    Before finding this forum and the above thread, Im am also using the plug-in: “local google fonts” and it worked nicely for all the fonts the website is actively using. Thats fine.

    But the your theme (spicepress pro) still does load a lot of fonts, that I am not even actively using and I dont want.

    The follwing google-fonts/api checking service shows certain left-overs and GDPR problems (like the thread of my co-poster, see above)
    https://sicher3.de/google-fonts-checker/ when analyzing my site.

    Anyone able to help me sorting this out? Thanks in advance for your help on this issue.

    Hello,

    I had the same problem (GDPR) with google fonts. I used the plugin “local google fonts” for all my WP websites. This plugin loads the used fonts locally on the server. It worked fine except for the WP website with Spicepress PRO theme.
    Spicepress PRO loads all Google Fonts and not just the fonts used.

    I tried everything I could find in terms of information.
    The following combination helped me:

    1) “Local Google Fonts” plugin to load the used fonts locally on the server.

    2) (…)/themes/spicepress-pro/functions.php
    line 11 hidden
    /*require( ST_THEME_FUNCTIONS_PATH .’/font/font.php’);*/

    3) (..)/themes/spicepress-pro/functions/scripts/script.php
    line 219 hidden
    /*echo “@import url(‘https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=$fontff’);”;*/

    This works now.

    But Spicepress PRO Team pls fix it because there are a lot of users in Europe! We have to embed the Google Fonts locally, otherwise we as website operators will receive warnings and sometimes severe penalties from the courts!

    Thank you and Greetings.
