I just tried v1.1.4 on WP4.5.3, and had just one problem getting it to work, but
after that, it worked fine. One thing that I think he skips in the setup instructions(
maybe I missed it) is that before you generate a Google API Key, you have to enable
Google Fonts access under your developer account. After that, when you ask to generate
a new API Key (and choose Server Key when you do), it will generate an API Key that
includes rights to Google Fonts.

Dude, if you can’t maintain this please take it down. Our time is valuable too. 
Just spend 45 minutes jerking around only to find you’ve gone dark. Thanks for the
memories but, spare us please.

### 󠀁[Absolutely no Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/absolutely-no-support-6/)󠁿

OK plugin, but there is ABSOLUTELY no support. They have a video, but it is old,
outdated and pretty much useless. I have the plugin on one website and tried to 
put it on another, but the video to help you set it up it has never been updated
and is now useless. I could not set it up the plugin on the new site. I made a post
on the support page months ago and it was never answered. Pat

### 󠀁[Fabulous Plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fabulous-plugin-21/)󠁿

 [theniftypooch](https://profiles.wordpress.org/theniftypooch/) September 3, 2016

I’ve tried a wide variety of font plugins and this is by far the easiest & most 
reliable to use! A breath of fresh air in the font plugin world! 🙂

### 󠀁[Getting API harder than learning rocket science](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-api-harder-than-learning-rocket-science/)󠁿

 [eredmon](https://profiles.wordpress.org/eredmon/) September 3, 2016

Look at how many support tickets there are for the API issue! As of today, September
19, 2015, it’s every third or fourth ticket. I’m not gong to bother adding one more
to the fire because I’ve already wasted enough time on this. Back to Simple Google
Fonts I guess, which has issues of its own but at least I can use it. If you are
the type of person who regularly runs into little problems during your development
process, run away! Until they fix this issue, this plugin will make you want to 
bang your head against a wall.
