Deprecated Google Fonts Filter

From the Astra theme version 2.5.0, we are making some changes on how the Google Fonts file will be served. Previously, this used to cause a rare error with WP_Filesystem() on some servers.

For the same, we are deprecating the filter: astra_google_fonts_json_file

Now, instead of the above filter, users will now be using new filter: astra_google_fonts_php_file

Note: For users who are getting this PHP Notice after the update –

Deprecated: astra_google_fonts_json_file is deprecated since version 2.5.0! Use instead. `astra_google_fonts_php_file`.

---

If you need to switch their Google Fonts file from JSON to PHP you can simply do it using this new filter –

add_filter('astra_google_fonts_php_file', 'asrta_add_new_google_php_file');

function asrta_add_new_google_php_file() {
    return get_stylesheet_directory() . '/google-new-fonts.php';
}

And here’s the link to the demo fonts file and the array how you should add and insert new Google fonts. You can modify the file path in the above filter based on the file name – google-new-fonts.php.

Note: Add the above code into the child theme’s functions.php file.
