Remove open sans font link from wordpress head

2 comments

1. You need to dequeue_style with an additional priority call:

   function wpso_dequeue_google_fonts() {
       wp_dequeue_style( 'twentyfifteen-fonts' );
   }
   add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpso_dequeue_google_fonts', 20 );
   

   See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dequeue_style

   Use this function in a child theme, because if you edit the original twentyfifteen theme, your changes will get overwritten with one of WP’s peridodic theme updates. See Child Themes « WordPress Codex

   And then remove any calls for Open Sans from font-family: rule in the stylesheet.

2. Add this to your functions.php file of your child theme.

   function remove_open_sans() {
      wp_dequeue_style( 'twentyfifteen-fonts' );
   }
   add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','remove_open_sans');
   

   The Google fonts are being added like this:

   wp_enqueue_style( 'twentyfifteen-fonts', twentyfifteen_fonts_url(), array(), null );
   

   So you need to dequeue the styles like they are added.
