Custom font uses absolute links in the theme CSS

[frozenwind]

Bricks Version: 1.5.6

Not a really bug. But could be improved by using relative links. For example, the link is https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/xxxx.woff The defects are:

1. If the site URL changes, custom fonts won’t work unless regenerate CSS in settings.
2. For local Wordpress development, If you want to share the site to a temporary URL, fonts won’t work. I have to use custom CSS to fix this issue.
3. Includes “https”, which makes the user or browser cannot decides to use “http”.

So relative links like /wp-content/uploads/xxxx.woff would solve those issues.

Yes please. I’m having problems deploying the site from the dev to the live environment. Bricks doesn’t let me change the link myself.

[frozenwind]

Yes. That input doesn’t accept relative links.

Right now, you can regenerate CSS in your live site to update the font links after the deployment.

Hi Kungpeng,
Thanks for your ideas.

You said it yourself: it’s not a bug but a potential improvement suggestion, so this is the wrong category. I’m moving the post to Feature Requests / Improvements for further discussion.
