GDPR and Google Fonts
1 reply · Started by hari on July 21, 2022
Hi,
i am a happy user of Generate Press Premium, but i am affected by the GDPR Problem with Google Fonts.
I reviewed older threads regarding the topic, but don´t want to "fumble" in the code, i would prefer a solution by the theme itself to store the fonts locally.
Now I see that the Wordpress-Themes-Team itself is strongly encouraging to update the themes and that is, what I am waiting for:
https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2022/06/18/complying-with-gdpr-when-using-google-fonts/
The themes team strongly encourages the theme authors to update their themes. We recommend updating by switching to locally hosted webfonts. Luckily Google Fonts can be downloaded and bundled in a theme. Bundled font files allow users to host webfonts locally and comply with GDPR.
My Question: Can I hope for a Generate Press Solution to store the fonts locally - right out of the standard-box?
Thanks!
Hi there,
Yes, we'll be adding a Local Fonts option in GP Premium this year.
For now, a plugin like this should help: https://wordpress.org/plugins/host-webfonts-local/
Hope this helps!
