Any way to disable Visual composer from connecting google fonts?

[alexlii]

Hello,

When we create a page, the Visual composer will connect google fonts resource automatically, since we are blocked in China to access google fonts, it will caused delay.

We are use some plugin like Remove google fonts to disable that connection, but it does not work anymore in WordPress 4.8.

It would be great appreciated if you can let me know how to remove that connection in Visual composer.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

Please try the below snippet in your KLEO Child theme’s functions.php by going to WP Admin > Appearance > Editor > KLEO Child > Functions.php

COPY CODE

// Remove Google Fonts from being called in page editor
add_action( 'vc_after_init', 'vc_after_init_actions' );
 
function vc_after_init_actions() {
     
    // Remove VC Elements
    if( function_exists('vc_remove_element') ){ 
         
        // Remove Google Fonts Custom Heading
        vc_remove_element( 'vc_custom_heading' );
         
    }
     
}

Thanks,

Kieran.

Thanks, but it does not work for us. we are running wordpress Multisite 4.8, so, I copied your code into Kleo-child function.php, and upload it with FTP.

the reason why it does not work might be related Multisite? or what did I wrong?

Here is screenshot for your reference: http://prntscr.com/gxy59o

Hi,

Sorry to hear this is not working for you, it worked for me on a live and local site. I will ask one of our developers @radu to take a look at this for you as they will have a much better insight into the intricacies of multisite.

Thank you for your patience,

Kieran.

Hi,

Finally figured our .. some google fonts are loaded thru CSS with include and cannot be dequeue with wp_dequeue_fonts

So you will have to delete the highlited code from those files

1. /wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/css/js_composer_frontend_editor.min.css
2. /wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/css/js_composer_backend_editor.min.css

You can ask visual composer if they are in plan to add a option ON/OFF google fonts or maybe a better solution.

Thanks.

It works at frontend, but it does not work at backend, once I create a new page, it will still keep connecting to google fonts.

Yes, I did wrote them before, and rewrite to them just now(https://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431/comments).

Thanks so much.

Hi,

Check also those files, those have link to the fonts.googleapis.com :

1. /wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/templates/shortcodes/vc_custom_heading.php
2. /wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/templates/shortcodes/vc_gitem_post_author.php
3. /wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/templates/params/vc_grid_item/shortcodes/vc_custom_heading.php
4. /wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/templates/shortcodes/vc_gitem_post_data.php

In all those files a wp_enqueue line exist with the same font and code apparently, comment them.

Suggest to vc team to add an option or a filter that prevents google fonts to load.

Hello,

Thanks, I comment all that lines, actually, I comment another one in a file named: vc_ui-fonts.less.

and please check here:http://prntscr.com/h0fjx2

but it still does not work at backend, it is really troubled, I wrote to VC team twice before, but no reply yet.

It would be great if you can wrote them too on behalf of Seventh queen theme developer, thanks a lot.

Hi,

Will speak with the core developer about this. but most sure they will reply to you when they have availability.

If you have a VPS you can try to do a workaround, from the host file of the server set an artificial 200 response but empty response from the google fonts hosts

any article for reference? thanks for your instruction.

Hi,

There is no article, you should root from your hosts file of the server the font.googleapis.com to a server that says 200 , i don’t have exact steps for that, this is only a idea
