This plugin saves so much time rather than manual code editing here is the manual step for example so thanks to the author! ============== edit theme css: Click “Appearance -> Editor -> Stylesheet” http:// yourblog.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php?file=style.css&theme=twentysixteen textarea{ color: #1a1a1a; /*font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;*/ font-family: “Lucida Sans Unicode”, “Lucida Grande”, sans-serif line 210 edit wp-content/themes/twentysixteen/ functions.php //return $fonts_url; return 0; #another problem is that in the code this shows up still: edit wp- includes/script-loader.php line 708: $open_sans_font_url = “https://fonts.googleapis. com/css?family=Open+Sans:300italic,400italic,600italic,300,400,600&subset=$subsets”; $open_sans_font_url = “”; ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7874882fc1752baead4cc37bf1eafa8f89c2831f30b5ba7d175c3d7f0f06573b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[works perfectly even for current wordpress version](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-perfectly-even-for-current-wordpress-version/)󠁿 [NUCUTA](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cuta/) September 3, 2016 now the default font in the back end is sans-serif.
