# Font path error

 * I’ve just updated to the newest version of the plugin and am having an odd error
   with the font path.
 * In Gtmetrix testing, I can see that the plugin points to this path off the root/
   css/default/gdrts-icons.woff, which doesn’t exist. Tries to find it for a second,
   then cancels.
 * If I put the fonts in /css/default/ and reload, it magically corrects itself 
   and goes to the expected folder: /wp-content/plugins/gd-rating-system/css/fonts/
   default/gdrts-icons.woff.
 * I have tried this several times, have hit ‘update’ on the db in the plugin, and
   it’s the same every time.
 * The front end still displays correctly either way (though honestly that could
   be a cache thing, I’m not good with caching), but unless I have the files available
   in the root, it adds a couple of seconds to my load time.
 * I’ve removed the files in the root for now so you can see what I mean in gtmetrix.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * CSS file loading fonts are in the ‘css/fonts’ folder, containing ‘default.css’
   and ‘default’ folder where the fonts are. And, default.css references correctly
   that folder. And, it works fine on your website, icons are loaded and browsers
   don’t report any issues. Why the problem is with GTMetrix, I have no idea. And,
   I tested your website in GTMetrix and Pingdom, both work correctly – the font
   is in ‘css/fonts/default’.
 * Also, the font CSS file is correctly cached on your website by whatever cache
   plugin you use, and fonts are loaded.
 * Milan

 * Yeah, it’s weird: It does display correctly and if it wasn’t for the load time
   impact I wouldn’t care.
 * No matter, I can just put the directory structure it’s looking for in the root
   since that does fix it for some weird reason.
 * Appreciate you taking a look at it, thanks.

 * I have not seen any warnings or errors in the GTMetrix or Pingdom tests. I have
   seen the previous tests you did in GTMetrix, but that doesn’t happen now, and
   the only reason for that to happen is for you to have some other code (not my
   plugin) referencing wrongly the font files.
