Google Fonts

[Matt]

Bill,

I’m having trouble adding Google fonts under the Advance Tab. I input the Font family as specified, but when I enter the font name, it doesn’t save it and the font doesn’t show up under my drop down. I’ve input the link from Google, the name, the font-family and no luck. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks,
Matt

Hey Matt,

That’s actually a bug I found adding this feature to another theme yesterday. The second name field has the same ID as the first. When I copied it, I missed that reference.

You can change it before I release the update. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Appearance section in your WordPress dashboard and choose Edit.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose options.php
3. Scroll down quite a ways until you see this section:

   
   	$options[] = array( "name" => __( 'Custom Google Font 2 Name', 'elite' ),
   						"desc" => __( 'The exact name of the font from Google Fonts', 'elite' ),
   						"id" => "custom_font_1",
   						"std" => "",
   						"type" => "text");
   

4. Change the custom_font_1 to custom_font_2 and save your changes.

That should do the trick. If you have trouble let me know.

Take care,
Bill
