Hi Themeco, big fan of your X theme – I use it everywhere. 2 licenses of my own, another for my old man.

I am trying to incorporate a webfont that I purchased from MyFonts into my child theme, and I’m unsure about the file structure.

I uploaded my font to a ‘webfonts’ subfolder within my child theme and changed the child theme’s stylesheet css to reference them. I did this using SiteGround’s file manager within their cPanel. I’ve been using the global css on the customiser to call this font but I’m having no luck. I put this issue down to my own inability, not with the theme.

Should I have uploaded the webfont to the parent theme? And should I be using a different method than global css customiser to implement the font?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

All the best,
Sam

Hello Sam,

Thanks for providing the information. To resolve this issue, you must supply the direct path of the font file. Please have you code updated and use this instead:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'CastorOne';
	src: url('http://www.wildcraft-boutique.com/wp-content/themes/x-child/webfonts/324C09_0_0.eot');
	src: url('http://www.wildcraft-boutique.com/wp-content/themes/x-child/webfonts/324C09_0_0.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),url('http://www.wildcraft-boutique.com/wp-content/themes/x-child/webfonts/324C09_0_0.woff2') format('woff2'),url('http://www.wildcraft-boutique.com/wp-content/themes/x-child/webfonts/324C09_0_0.woff') format('woff'),url('http://www.wildcraft-boutique.com/wp-content/themes/x-child/webfonts/324C09_0_0.ttf') format('truetype');
}

Please let us know if this works out for you.

Hi Rue Nel, thanks so much for this.

I knew it would be something I’d missed. When I tried it I had started the src at: ‘/webfonts’ as opposed to using the entire path. I’ve run through the different headings and p styles, and it works perfectly.

Thanks for taking the time to help.

All the best,
Sam
