Title: Minify css problem Last modified: July 31, 2020 --- # Minify css problem * Resolved [nickfr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickfr/) * (@nickfr) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-css-problem/) * When i enable css minify, the site on initial loading shows for a while the fallback generic font before loading the google font. I tried all settings in fonts but the problem is css minify. when css minify disabled fonts load nice. I also excluded all css files to check but problem still there.

The suggested filter did not help me. I don’t think it is because of the swap option, because with that option the google font should swap in once it is loaded, but this does not happen. * And in fact, I don’t see the suggested filter being called! (I created another add_filter with a debug trace). * Maybe things depend on how the google fonts are loaded? I used [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) into my main css file. * Then I moved the loading of the Google fonts to the HTML head instead, and now the fonts are loaded (although the plugin option “Don’t load Google Fonts” has no efect) - This reply was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by [christer_f](https://wordpress.org/support/users/christer_f/). * [saberlight](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saberlight/) * (@saberlight) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-css-problem/#post-14387428) * I have the same problem. Safari will not load my google fonts. I’ve tried every configuration imaginable. I’ll have to come up with a workaround or try an optimizing plugin alternative. * [daanverh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanverh/) * (@daanverh) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-css-problem/#post-14389028) * I am having this exact same problem with ‘Mimify’ turned on after update 3.1.9. On desktop Google Chrome works perfectly, on Safari it returns to a system default font, and on an Android tablet, it also doesn’t load the Google Font. For now i have reverted to plugin version 3.1.8. Please advise. * [daanverh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanverh/) * (@daanverh) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-css-problem/#post-14414459) * If anybody is looking for a solution, wait a bit, as it is indeed a bug in version 3.1.9, stated by plugin support in this forum topic : [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lettertype-probleem-3-1-9/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lettertype-probleem-3-1-9/) * [acyian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acyian/) * (@acyian) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-css-problem/#post-14443823) * Yes, I have exactly the same problem. My GoogleFonts don’t work anymore when I check the option: Process CSS files with your Plugin version 3.1.9. I use the Divi plugin. Thanks for all your efforts for your WP Optimize plugin. And thank you in advance for fixing this big problem with GoogleFont. * [elisafarli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elisafarli/) * (@elisafarli) * [4 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-css-problem/#post-14684395) * the problem persists with the update. has anyone figured a way around this? * [krisolin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krisolin/) * (@krisolin) * [4 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-css-problem/#post-15034571) * When I turn on the WP Optimize feature Minify it messes up the layout.
