Manage installed fonts

After installing fonts from Google Fonts or uploading your own font files, you may wish to deactivate, delete, or reactivate fonts in your library. This guide will show you how.

This feature is available on sites with the WordPress.com Business and Commerce plans, and the legacy Pro plan. If you have a Business plan, make sure to activate it. For sites on the Free, Personal, and Premium plans, upgrade your plan to access this feature.

If you no longer use a font on your website, you can deactivate it or completely delete it from your site. Deactivating or deleting a font means that any text using the font will no longer display that font family.

1. Visit your WordPress.com dashboard.
2. Navigate to Appearance → Editor.
3. Click on the “Styles” menu option.
4. Select the “Typography” option.
5. Click the “Manage Fonts” button, which looks like two horizontal lines with dots on them.
6. In the font library, under “Installed Fonts,” click the font you want to manage.
   • To deactivate a font, uncheck the box next to the font and click the “Update” button.
   • To delete or uninstall a font, click the “Delete” link.

If you have deactivated (but not deleted) a font, you can reactivate the font:

1. Visit your site’s dashboard.
2. Navigate to Appearance → Editor.
3. Click on the “Styles” menu option.
4. Select the “Typography” option.
5. Click the “Manage Fonts” button, which looks like two horizontal lines with dots on them.
6. Under “Installed Fonts,” click the font you want to reactivate.
7. Check the box next to the font variant and click the “Update” button.
