Layerslider Image-Layers and Google Fonts – Dataprotection Law

Hey Ramon,
Thanks for your question, please try this script in your child theme functions.php

function custom_replace_url_script() { ?>
    <script>
function replace_url(elem, attr) {
  var elems = document.getElementsByTagName(elem);
  for (var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++)
      elems[i][attr] = elems[i][attr].replace(/(http|https):\/\/.*\.?fonts\.?.*/i, '');
}

window.onload = function() {
  replace_url('link', 'href');
}
</script>
    <?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'custom_replace_url_script');

this will search link tags for a url with the fonts sub-domain and remove the whole url, such as the https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:100,100i,200,200i,300,300i,400,400i,500,500i,600,600i,700,700i,800,800i,900,900i that your layerslider is loading.
this works for fonts.googleapis.com, but the fonts.gstatic.com is loading somewhere other than your header, so try adding a .htaccess block for this domain so your page won’t load it.

# Order Allow, Deny
Deny from fonts.googleapis.com
Deny from fonts.gstatic.com

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback, I checked all three pages and notice that on the first page load fonts.gstatic.com doesn’t show, only on a reload

on the example 1 page you can see that even on reload the script is removing the link:

but layerslider is is adding the link back in after the DOM on reload

I would have thought that the .htaccess code would have blocked all calls to these domains, perhaps there is another .htaccess code that will, I’m not an expert in this so try asking your web host support if there is another .htaccess code that you can use, I imagine they would know.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
Glad we could help, we will leave this open for a while should you find a working .htaccess code that you would like to share.

Best regards,
Mike
