Hi!
the current version of Views loads a Google Font in the frontend:
<link rel='stylesheet' id='wp-editor-font-css' href='<em><u>hidden link</u></em>' type='text/css' media='all' />
I'm 100% sure this wasn't the case in earlier plugin versions since this is a GDPR issue and it must be declared in the privacy policy of every website.
Questions:
When did you integrate this font?
Why in the frontend?
How can I remove it? (Option in plugin settings would be helpful!)
Best regards
Matthias
Hello,
Thanks for the details, I can duplicate the same problem, and have escalated this issue, will update here if there is any news.
In my test, this issue starts from Views 3.0.2
Thank you, Luo!
Meanwhile, I also tested different releases and I found out that it started with v3.0 with the introduction of the Toolset Blocks.
I hope this will be fixed soon.
It has been escalated to our developers, and our 2nd tier supporter has provided a workaround, for example, add below codes into your theme file "functions.php":
function remove_google_fonts_stylesheet() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'wp-editor-font-css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'remove_google_fonts_stylesheet', 999 );
Thanks!
But will Toolset remove this font from the frontend in the next release? Again, this is a GDPR issue for your European customers. Website owners must declare this in their privacy policies. And lot of websites I maintain, don't want to use third-party font's at all. But now they use them without knowing. This is not OK.
It has been escalated to our developers as a bug, our developers are working on it, but I am not sure if it can be fixed in next release, I have to mark this thread as "Esclated" status, will update here if there is any news.
Here is the feedback from our developers, this is fixed in Toolset Views plugin version 3.2, which is under QA status, I will keep on updating here.
Hello,
Our developers have provided a patch in the Erratum :
https://toolset.com/errata/toolset-loads-extra-google-fonts-files-on-the-front-end/
Currently, you can also try that patch file in your website.
Thanks, Luo. The patch is working.
But I still hope this will be fixed in the next release. I can't patch all sites manually.
Here is the feedback from our developers:
This will get released with Views 3.2.
But I am not sure when will it be released, it is still in QA status.
It is fixed in Toolset Views 3.1.3, you can download it here:

Please test and feedback if the problem is fixed. thanks
