How to host Hestia fonts locally?

Hestia theme allows for local font hosting, and this article presents the required steps to do this.

📝 Note: Please note that by implementing the solution provided in this doc, all the fonts of your website will be hosted locally, including the ones from the third-party plugins.

🖲 Customizer Toggle

The Google Fonts can be hosted locally by simply enabling its toggle:

1

Navigate to Appearance > Customize > Appearance Settings > Typography.

2

Enable the Local fonts hosting toggle.

📝Note: If you choose the second scenario (using a code snippet), it's important to keep in mind that it overrides the toggle.

📝 Code snippet

1

Copy the filter below.

2

Paste it into the currently active theme functions.php file or to the child theme file. 

add_action( 'wp_print_styles', function() {
    add_filter( 'hestia_load_remote_fonts_locally', '__return_true' );
} );

📝 Note: A ready-made child theme for Hestia is available for download in this guide. We strongly recommend using the child theme, to avoid losing customizations once you update the parent theme.
