REMINDER
Published domain/website text looks different than original
-
It's my first official website published with a custom domain name for a client of mine and after following the instructions the website went live but the fonts are totally different than what's in the page builder and even different from the subdomain version. Below are the links:
http://www.betweenthehips.com (official domain name)
https://meganrorabeck.leadgenweb.win (subdomain I initially gave to share with the client while I was working on the website)The domain is hosted with Go Daddy. Any idea how I can correct it?

Hi Christopher,
I don't have time to write a nicer / more complete reply as I would like, but I can tell you what is happening
Browsers don't like it when you mix http and https content. Basically, you are loading your fonts via https:// but your page is being served over http. This causes a CORS error which you can see in the console by using the web inspector.
Once you launch the site with SSL, the fonts will load and appear correctly.
Cheers!

@Daniel-Mulroy, thank you for the reply with solution. Can I somehow make the website show as http instead of https in the meantime? I must chat with the client about it so that she purchase the SSL from Go Daddy or if she wants to transfer over to me in Appdrag.

I think you have two options:
-
Manually connect by putting "https://" at the beginning of the URL and ignore the security warnings. This will load the page over HTTPS and avoid the CORS errors when loading the fonts.
-
Open your page in the Code Editor and manually replace all instances of https: with http://
I'm not sure the latter will actually work... the right answer is really to get SSL/Https working.

Thanks for helping out. I definitely learn a bit more. I think I found the solution. I have free SLL on external domains and it'd not active. I am following these instructions: https://support.appdrag.com/doc/Activate-SSL Let's see if it works.

@Daniel-Mulroy, success! I followed the instructions and now the website is showing secured and with proper font: betweenthehips.com
