Remove Google Fonts

[wb]

What is the best way to remove Google Fonts from the Genesis Sample Theme?

[Victor Font]

Comment out this block of code in functions.php at line 74:

wp_enqueue_style(
		genesis_get_theme_handle() . '-fonts',
		$appearance['fonts-url'],
		[],
		genesis_get_theme_version()
	);

Hi Victor many thanks for this, my code from 3.4.1 (sorry should have mentioned this earlier), the latest version, is slightly different, below shows line 70...92:

function genesis_sample_enqueue_scripts_styles() {

	$appearance = genesis_get_config( 'appearance' );

	wp_enqueue_style( // phpcs:ignore WordPress.WP.EnqueuedResourceParameters.MissingVersion -- see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/49742
		genesis_get_theme_handle() . '-fonts',
		$appearance['fonts-url'],
		[],
		null
	);

	wp_enqueue_style( 'dashicons' );

	if ( genesis_is_amp() ) {
		wp_enqueue_style(
			genesis_get_theme_handle() . '-amp',
			get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/lib/amp/amp.css',
			[ genesis_get_theme_handle() ],
			genesis_get_theme_version()
		);
	}

}

I'm not using amp on the site in question, so could I comment out from line 74...90 and nothing will break, or just line 74...79 only as you are suggesting? I'm presuming commenting out the whole of genesis_sample_enqueue_scripts_styles() is going to cause an error.

I commented out line 74...79 and it worked a treat, all of the google font links in the header have gone, thanks again Victor.

The better way I think, if you want to update the Sample Child Theme in the future, is to use this in a custom PHP file or in a plugin like Snippets.

add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'cw_dequeue_google_fonts_style' );
function cw_dequeue_google_fonts_style() {
      wp_dequeue_style( 'genesis-sample-fonts' );
}
