Missing Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Response Header

Hi there,

for some reason all my font files trigger a warning when being loaded. I checked the FireFox console and this is the warning message I’m getting: “Missing Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Response Header”

Now, I’ve searched the forums and found this solution right here in the Enfold Documentation (https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/icon/#icons-are-showing-as-rectangular-boxes-). However, I don’t think that CORS is actually the problem. I have multiple sites on the same server and all of them use Enfold and almost the exact same plugins and none of them have ever had this issue.

Also, I was told that the suggested .htaccess fix

<FilesMatch ".(ttf|otf|woff)$">
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</IfModule>
</FilesMatch> 

isn’t something you want to have in your .htaccess if it’s a live website. On a dev server maybe, but not the live version. However, I’m not a developer, so I don’t really know whether or not this actually is a safety concern. Either way, I’d like to get to the root of the problem and not fight the symptoms instead by editing my .htaccess file.

Here’s something I’ve noticed which may help you guys help me resolve this issue:

I use 2 caching and minification plugins (Autoptimize and Cache Enabler) and have been for quite a while now. These 2 usually work perfectly together. However, when I delete either of the static files (the cache created by Cache Enabler or the minified files by Autoptimize) everything works fine for a while. No errors, no issues, all good. But a couple of hours later, it happens again.

I haven’t tried disabling the plugins yet, to test if the fonts break again, because A) I need those plugins and B) I know for a fact they work fine together, so the root of the problem must be something else.

EDIT: I just deleted the cache, so the issue is, as of right now (2:35pm, UTC+1) temporarily fixed. I won’t touch the site now, so the problem can resurface and you guys can see for yourself. I’ll edit this post, once that has happened.

Thank you in advance for helping me out!
