Fonts not appearing when using SSL

    Hello team,

    I noticed that the fonts I applied in GeneratePress were visible on pages when I didn’t have a domain name pointing to the space with SSL. … When I applied a domain name (oddfairpress.com), the fonts reverted to the basic Times New Roman, etc, despite what I have configured in the theme.

    I’m not sure if this is a known issue with SSL and fonts. … I found some articles indicating that I would need to change some CSS or HTML referencing fonts from “Http/Https” to “//” instead, but I can’t seem to figure out where that lives in GeneratePress (if it is indeed theme related).

    Probing to see if this is a known challenge. If so, I could use some help figuring out how to resolve.

    Regards,
    Matthew Olson

    Hello.

    Most likely cause: Google Fonts are being loaded via http:// instead of https://, which gets blocked by the browser’s security policy when the site is on SSL. You could check the browser console (F12 -> Console tab) for mixed content warnings — they’ll show exactly which resources are being blocked.

    Are you using the Font Library to upload your local fonts or have you uploaded Google fonts? Can you send us a URL?

    I’m using the Font Library with installed fonts.

    https://oddfairpress.com

    I do see errors under console:

    Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALIDUnderstand this error
    Quarion-BookDEMO.otf:1 Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALIDUnderstand this error

    Hello.

    Seems to be a certificate mismatch rather than mixed content. The font files are being requested from a URL where the SSL certificate doesn’t match the domain name.

    Looking at the Network tab (F12 → Network, then filter by “font” or look for the .otf files) I can see that there is a Cloudways app URL that the fonts are trying to be served from.

    This usually happens when a site was migrated from a staging or temporary URL and the old paths are still stored in the database. The fix is typically either re-uploading through the Font Library or doing a search-replace in the database to update the old domain to oddfairpress.com.

    That seems to have done it!
