I copied the site from my dev machine to the web server with the host, and the fonts (.woff) didn’t make it over, or the site lost track of where to find them. How do I fix this? I’m seeing 404 errors in the browser console.
I found the issue myself. I use UpdraftPlus to migrate sites built on my dev server to their final host server. There’s a search/replace that Updraft uses to replace DB entries referencing the dev server domain where it exists in the WP links, with the new final domain. It works most of the time, but in cases like this Theme, there were a number of root domain references in the DB that didn’t get caught by the search/replace during migration. In this case, it was all of the .woff font file locations. The files got transferred, but the DB thought they were still off the old dev root.
I manually changed out those domain references and now it shows as expected. For what it’s worth, there may need to be some adjustments to the theme to make the domain references consistent throughout the site to avoid situations like this going forward.
Hi,
Thanks for sharing your experince, Let me share another tip rather than manually changing url/references from database use “Velvet Blue” Plug-in, It will make life easier.
