Simple to use and great support

By sarahjen on July 31, 2021

Totally new to wordpress and this plug in was super easy to use and allowed me to change fonts with no problem. The support also gave me CSS selector (I have NO knowledge of CSS...) to change the navigation font. Huge thank you!

Works well

By karlaberg on July 14, 2021

Works well. Some issues with a recent upgrade, but support was excellent and problem is now resolved.

Great plugin, even better support

By Benjamin Lukoff (lukobe) on July 14, 2021

This plugin does one thing and it does that well: integrates Google Fonts into your WordPress site. A recent update did cause some issues on my site but the developer's response to my query was super fast and after doing what he suggested my site is back to normal. Big fan of this plugin.

Great Plugin w/ Rapid Support

By megleonardco on July 14, 2021
