Hi @zarminsky,
Can you post a link to your site?
The translateable string that can disable Google Fonts is set to false by default (= Google Fonts is active by default), so that shouldn’t be causing the issue.

Hi Anders,
The following is one of the sites, where I use Baskerville (and a childtheme with some modifications):

Hi @zarminsky,
Depending on how you’re child theme stylesheet enqueue function is structured, you need to check that the “baskerville_googleFonts” stylesheet is enqueued.
The Baskerville enqueue structure changed in version 1.20. You can find a thread about that here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/v1-20-wont-load-child-theme-css/

Hej Anders,
Thank you: I’ll try again. My way to enque the styles is the following:
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'baskerville_style';
wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'baskerville-claudia-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array( $parent_style ),
wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
But anyhow: Even when I activate the original theme baskerville, I cannot find the option concerning google fonts. Where do I have to look for it?
With best regards
Armin
Hi @zarminsky,
Replace that code block with the following:
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_register_style( 'baskerville_googleFonts', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Slab:400,700|Roboto:400,400italic,700,700italic,300|Pacifico:400', false, 1.0, 'all' );
wp_register_style( 'baskerville_style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'baskerville-claudia-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array( 'baskerville_googleFonts', 'baskerville_style' ), wp_get_theme()->get('Version') );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
That should load the fonts CSS correctly.

Hej Anders,
thank you very much, with this code everything works fine.

Hello, I have a similar issue.
We need to disable the direct use of GOOGLE fonts due to DSGVO un-conformity.
Looking on function.php, there is a variable “$google-fonts” where I can disable the use of google fonts in this theme. But I do not find any input/config filed inthe customizer of the theme.
Could you give a short advise, how and where to set this variable?
Of course, I could remove the code block from the function.php, but I do no want to change anything in the original function.phpp of this theme to keep update path alive.
Thx
Jens
Hi Jens,
the variable is intended to be set to “off” by translators (!), if there there are characters in the translated language which are not available in the theme fonts.
See functions.php, comment in lines 95-98.
One can do so at translate.wordpress.org – for example here (for de_DE): https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-themes/baskerville/de/default/?filters%5Bterm%5D=google&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc
This translation applies to all users who use this specific language (pack). So it’s not the way to go for you 🙂
If you want to set Google Fonts to “off” for your own project, you should use a child theme and host the needed fonts yourself. It’s not that hard:
