FontPress for Google Fonts makes it easy to add beautiful Google Fonts to your WordPress site through the Customizer. No coding skills needed!<\/p>\n\n
Two Loading Modes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Self-Hosted (Recommended)<\/strong> - Fonts downloaded to your server. 100% GDPR-compliant, no external requests, no consent needed.<\/p>\n\n \u2601\ufe0f Google CDN<\/strong> - Loads from Google servers. Requires user consent under GDPR.<\/p>\n\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Perfect for:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n How it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n This section explains how Google Font Loader handles user data and external requests.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n This plugin offers two distinct loading modes with different privacy implications:<\/p>\n\n No external requests are made in self-hosted mode:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n \u2705 Fonts are downloaded once from Google Fonts API and stored on your server\n\u2705 All subsequent requests are served from your own domain\n\u2705 No visitor data is transmitted to third parties\n\u2705 100% GDPR-compliant without requiring user consent\n\u2705 No cookies are set\n\u2705 No IP addresses are logged or transmitted<\/p>\n\n How it works:<\/strong>\n1. When you select a font in the Customizer, the plugin downloads it from Google Fonts API\n2. Font files are stored in Initial download from Google:<\/strong> The plugin makes a one-time request to Google Fonts API when you first select a font. This happens from your server (not visitors' browsers) and only transmits:\n- Font family name\n- Requested weights\n- Your server's IP address (not visitors')<\/p>\n\n External requests ARE made in Google CDN mode:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n When you enable Google CDN mode and check the consent checkbox, this plugin loads fonts from Google's servers:<\/p>\n\n What this means:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n \u26a0\ufe0f Your site makes HTTP requests to Google's servers\n\u26a0\ufe0f Visitor IP addresses may be transmitted to Google\n\u26a0\ufe0f Google's Privacy Policy applies: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\n\u26a0\ufe0f Google may collect analytics data about font usage\n\u26a0\ufe0f Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA<\/p>\n\n Important:<\/strong> These external requests only occur when you explicitly:\n1. Select \"Google CDN\" as loading method\n2. Check the \"I have obtained user consent\" checkbox<\/p>\n\n Without both of these, no external requests are made.<\/p>\n\n This plugin stores the following settings in your WordPress database (as WordPress options):<\/p>\n\n Font files storage (Self-Hosted mode only):<\/strong>\n* Downloaded font files (.woff2, .ttf, etc.) are stored in Data retention:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Self-Hosted Mode:<\/strong>\n- ONE-TIME server-to-server request when you select a font\n- No ongoing connections\n- No visitor data transmitted<\/p>\n\n Google CDN Mode (when enabled):<\/strong>\n- Ongoing requests from visitors' browsers\n- Google's privacy policy applies: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\n- Terms of Service: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/terms\n- Google Fonts FAQ: https:\/\/developers.google.com\/fonts\/faq<\/p>\n\n \u2705 No action needed<\/strong> - Self-hosted mode is GDPR-compliant by default<\/p>\n\n You may want to mention in your privacy policy:<\/p>\n\n \"This website uses custom fonts to improve typography. Font files are hosted on our own servers and no data is transmitted to third parties.\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n \u26a0\ufe0f User consent is required<\/strong> under GDPR and similar privacy regulations.<\/p>\n\n You MUST:<\/p>\n\n \"This website uses Google Fonts to improve typography and user experience.

The plugin works with Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi, and other major page builders. Fonts are loaded site-wide via WordPress hooks.<\/p>\n\n Absolutely! The plugin works independently of your theme. You can switch themes without losing your font settings.<\/p>\n\n Yes, the plugin supports RTL (Right-to-Left) languages. Make sure to select fonts that include RTL character sets from Google Fonts.<\/p>\n\n Not directly through the plugin. However, you can use CSS media queries in your theme to override font settings on mobile.<\/p>\n\n Font settings are stored in the WordPress database. Use any WordPress backup plugin or export via Tools \u2192 Export<\/strong> in WordPress admin.<\/p>\n\n Settings to backup:\n- All options starting with Yes! If both sites use self-hosted mode:\n1. Copy font settings from database (export\/import)\n2. Copy Yes! Each site in a Multisite network can have independent font settings.<\/p>\n\n Self-Hosted Mode:<\/strong> Your site continues to work normally. Fonts are already downloaded and cached.<\/p>\n\n Google CDN Mode:<\/strong> Fonts may not load, but the browser will fall back to system fonts (sans-serif). Your content remains accessible.<\/p>\n\n The plugin applies fonts to standard HTML elements (body, h1-h6, nav). For custom CSS, you can:\n1. Use Appearance \u2192 Customize \u2192 Additional CSS<\/strong>\n2. Add custom selectors targeting the font families loaded by the plugin<\/p>\n\n Automatic installation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Manual installation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n First-time setup:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n After activation, go to Appearance \u2192 Google Fonts<\/strong> to see the status dashboard and configure your fonts in the Customizer.<\/p>\n\n\n Make sure you've selected fonts in Appearance \u2192 Customize \u2192 Google Font Settings<\/strong>.
