Special Heading Faux Italics

I did decide to add my own fonts to the functions.php. I am not using a child theme, so when the theme updates, will I have to add the code back into the functions.php?

I have set up a child theme, but every time I try to install it, the site shuts down with an “HTTP 500” error.

The problem is with the functions.php file, because when I upload a blank functions.php, it works. But, in order to get the fonts I want, I need to add them to my functions.php. This is what my functions.php file looks like when I get the error:

<?php

/*
* Add your own functions here. You can also copy some of the theme functions into this file. 
* WordPress will use those functions instead of the original functions then.
*/

add_filter( 'avf_google_heading_font', 'avia_add_heading_font');
function avia_add_heading_font($fonts)
{
$fonts['Merriweather'] = 'Merriweather:400,400i,700,700i';
$fonts['Merriweather Sans'] = 'Merriweather Sans:300,300i,700,700i';
return $fonts;
}

add_filter( 'avf_google_content_font', 'avia_add_content_font');
function avia_add_content_font($fonts)
{
$fonts['Merriweather'] = 'Merriweather:400,400i,700,700i';
$fonts['Merriweather Sans'] = 'Merriweather Sans:300,300i,700,700i';
return $fonts;
}

Do you see anything here that would cause the site to crash? Thank you!

I was able to figure out what the problem was. I hadn’t deleted the filter from the parent Enfold file, so they must have been conflicting. Thanks for your help with this! This topic can now be closed.
