Deactivate Google Fonts with an additional plugin

[mdsojolh444]

Check the settings of the installed plugins. Look for options related to fonts or typography. Disable Google Fonts or choose another local font.

There are special plugins like the Disable and Remove Google Fonts Plugin that can help you disable Google Fonts and use local fonts instead. These plugins detect the corresponding source code that establishes a connection to the Google Fonts services and block these scripts and thus automatically all Google Fonts on your website:

Install the plugin Disable and Remove Google Fonts .
Activate the plugin after installation.
Disable Google Fonts manually in the theme via the functions.php file
The functions.php file is a file in your WordPress theme that contains custom functions and code snippets to extend the functionality of your website.

However, making changes to this file can be risky, especially if you don't know exactly what you're doing. Incorrect changes can cause your website to stop working properly or even crash completely.

For this reason, we recommend that you only make adjustments if you have the necessary knowledge:

Step 1: Create a backup

Before making any changes to functions.php, make a full backup of your bc data mexico website so that you can restore it to its original state in case of any problems.

Step 2: Open functions.php

Go to your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to Appearance > Theme Editor.
Select the functions.php file from the right sidebar.
Step 3: Identify Google Fonts Handle

To find the correct Google Fonts handle, you need to check the documentation of your theme or plugin. You can often find this in the functions.php file or in the source code of the installed WordPress theme. Alternatively, you can use the browser console to identify the loaded fonts.

Step 4: Add code

Add the following code at the end of the functions.php file. Replace 'theme-handle'* with the actual handle of the theme that loads the Google Fonts:

(code block)
function remove_google_fonts() {

wp_dequeue_style('theme-handle');

wp_deregister_style('theme-handle');

}

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'remove_google_fonts', 20);
(end of code block)

Step 5: Save changes

Click Update File to save the changes.

*A notice:

The 'theme-handle' is specific to each theme and plugin. An example could be 'twentytwenty-style' for the Twenty Twenty theme.

This adjustment will dequeue and unregister the code that loads Google Fonts, preventing the fonts from being loaded from external Google servers. This will help keep your website GDPR compliant.

If you are unsure or need help, we recommend that you seek professional support from an agency specializing in WordPress to ensure that all changes are made correctly and securely.
