Overview

Replace Google Fonts requests with local files stored on your WordPress site for better privacy and control.

The plugin downloads font files to wp-content/uploads/dp-local-fonts/, creates a local CSS file, removes matching Google Fonts links from the front end, and adds preload hints for active local fonts.

Version 1.8.0 moves Local Fonts to the stable Dprime release channel. It adds the Dprime product manifest and identity icon, adopts the fluid Dprime admin interface with locally bundled typography and icons, and hardens all remote downloads, scans, uploads, and cleanup operations.

Before you start

  • WordPress 6.4 or newer
  • PHP 8.2 or newer

Installation

  1. Upload the dprime-local-fonts folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate Dprime Local Fonts.
  3. Open Local Fonts in the Dprime menu or WordPress sidebar.
  4. Scan your builder, choose a catalogue font, or upload custom files.

Using the plugin

  • Scan Breakdance, Elementor, Bricks, Divi, or the WordPress database.
  • Choose families and weights from the included Google Fonts catalogue.
  • Upload custom WOFF2, WOFF, TTF, or OTF files.
  • Remove a Google Fonts request only when every requested family, weight, and style is available locally.

Data and cleanup

  • 1 WordPress setting
  • Uploaded files: wp-content/uploads/dp-local-fonts

Retention: kept until the plugin is uninstalled. Uninstall policy: delete the plugin-owned data declared above.

Troubleshooting

  1. Confirm the required WordPress, PHP, and companion-plugin versions above.
  2. Save the plugin settings again, then repeat the exact action that failed.
  3. Clear page, object, and browser caches when the issue affects front-end output.
  4. Temporarily test with unrelated plugins disabled on a staging site to identify a conflict.
  5. If the problem remains, record the steps, visible error, and relevant logs before contacting support.

Frequently asked questions

Does it need Dprime Core?

No. Local Fonts works independently. Dprime Core is required only for automatic catalogue updates.

What happens after deactivation?

The front end returns to its normal font loading behavior. Saved files remain until the plugin is deleted or its data is cleared.

Can I use non-Google fonts?

Yes. Upload WOFF2, WOFF, TTF, or OTF files for any font family.

Updates and access

Download the complete current package directly from Dprime Plugins. Install Dprime Core to receive eligible automatic updates and move older Dprime update addresses onto the current service.
