Hmm… I’ll need to take a closer look at your site. If you’d like, please send me an email at wpgooglefonts@webmalama.com and we can go from there.

In the mean time, if you can add the following code in your functions.php file, it may solve your specific issue until we solve the issue.

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpgooglefonts_temp_fix' );
function wpgooglefonts_temp_fix(){
   $protocol = is_ssl() ? 'https' : 'http';
		$query_args = array(
			'family' => 'Righteous:400|Open+Sans:400',
			'subset' => 'latin',
		);
   wp_enqueue_style( 'googlefonts-css-temp', add_query_arg( $query_args, "$protocol://fonts.googleapis.com/css" ), array(), null );
}

Thanks for your post Alexander.

The plugin has 3 methods to get the most recent list of Google Fonts.

First, it tries to get them through the link you mention above (https://www.googleapis.com/webfonts/v1/webfonts). It is common that this has reached a daily limit, especially when the plugin is updated and many people are trying to update their fonts list at the same time.

Next, it tries to get them through the same link, but with an API key for the plugin. This has a limit of 10,000 requests a day. So, this should be available at all times except for the first couple of days after any plugin update is released.

Last, if it cannot connect with the two methods above, it uses a locally stored (in the plugin folder) recent copy of the Google Fonts list.

The list will try to sync up with the most recent version each time you go to your Google Fonts settings and if it has been at least 12 hours since your last try.

In your specific case, the error message is not stating a daily limit error, but a network error. That means there is likely a server issue with your site being able to connect to other sites on the web. You can take a look at this post on StackOverflow for possible solutions.
