Can’t Change Font

Recently, the font on my blog posts page changed. I did not make any changes to the settings, it just happened out of nowhere. Now I cannot change it back to what it used to be. Even though I have the global default font (and all subsequent fonts) set to Josefin Sans, that is not the font that is currently displayed on my page. It’s changed the whole look of my website and I can’t change it back!

Thanks.

Hi @mpet106,
Would you be able to link us your website and point us to an example of text that is in the wrong font?

Thanks Andrew. Here’s the link to my blog page – all font should be Josefin Sans. And that’s what I have it set on in the settings, in addition to being the global default. But what you see is not the Josefin Sans font, and I can’t change it. At times I can change it in customizer, but the changes don’t stick and it goes back to whatever this font is.

I see. I’ve double checked to see if the font files are loading (from Google) and I noticed there was an issue with the Josefin font.

For comparison this is the Dancing font that we know is working: http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Dancing+Script:regular,700

But this is the Josefin font that isn’t:
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Josefin+Sans%F0%BA%84%80,100italic,300,300italic,regular,italic,600,600italic,700,700italic

If you look closely you can see the bit in the URL that is causing the issue. It’s this bit:
```
%F0%BA%84%80
```
That bit is meant to be a colon.
If you replace it with a colon you can see the URL then works:
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Josefin+Sans:,300,300italic,regular,italic,600,600italic,700,700italic

It sounds like this is an issue with your theme so I recommend contacting StudioPress about this: http://www.studiopress.com/

Hi there,

we semm to have a similiar problem. As of the update to WP 4.7.4 the font settings in the global setting won’t apply anymore. Our website can be found here

A message claimes an undefined property:
…”wp-content/plugins/styles/classes/styles-font-menu/classes/sfm-group.php on line 33″

The corresponding php file is as follows:

foreach( $this->get_fonts() as $font ) {
$this->menu_css .= $font->get_menu_css();
}

Any ideas how I could fix this?

Thanks in advance,
Sven

Well, I found a workaround whereby I simply installed a new plugin to change the font. My hosting site studiopress said this is not a studiopress issue, and to be honest all of my plugins worked fine until now.

I feel like this is an issue relating to the latest wordpress update – as soon as I did that, I’ve started experiencing problems I’ve never had before.

Now, the thumbnail with featured image is not showing on twitter. But it shows on facebook. This is a big problem for me in sharing my content.

Thanks.

Hello,
I’m trying to change the font on my blog via the Google font plug in. A friend of mine was able to do this from his computer but on mine, the changes don’t show up!

I deactivated all my other Plugins just in case but that didn’t help. Can you help me find a way to customize the fonts. I know where to do it and how, but the change doesn’t show up on my end. Also I tried two different browsers and cleared the cookies.

Appreciate the help!
