google API font not loading after combining CSS

    Hello!

    First of all, I would like to apologise if this is a stupid question – but I have not been able to fix it myself and I have done a fair bit of searching for the answer (including this forum & the help section of this plugin).

    I’m working on this plugin on my staging site before deploying it to the live site. In the live site (by looking at the network log of DevTools) I can see there is a request to https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Indie+Flower.
    This is not a request on the staging site with FVM, obviously due to the combining & minification – and it is this that causes an issue – I presume. But neither adding

    https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Indie+Flower

    nor

    fonts.googleapis.com

    to either the Ignore or Remove CSS works to get this font back.

    I’ve also tried enabling “Merge Fonts & Icons separately” which didn’t work.

    Am I doing something wrong here? Please advice. Much appreciated.

    All the best,
    Aidan

    When combining css or separating fonts, there will no longer be calls to fonts.googleapis.com. FVM will read that font and merge it, thus removing the third party call.

    You cannot ignore that setting, unless you disable css processing.
    Nevertheless, merging google fonts should cause zero issues, so what are you facing?

    Thanks Raul!

    The issue was that the Google Font was not loading, I was able to fix this by just downloaded the font and uploading it to my server and calling it there as opposed to the Google API.

    Thanks for the explanation eitherway!
