Web fonts not working after upgrade to WP 3.5.1?

[Kira Woodmansee]

I purchased WP-Jumpstart for my husband’s website at ezentialmassage.com. Everything’s been going well until a few days ago, when my host (Dreamhost) automatically upgraded WordPress to version 3.5.1 and the web fonts stopped working. The font files are where they should be on the server and the syntax appears correct. I had not made any changes to the site in the past two weeks, but the fonts stopped working around Feb 1.

All the plugins, WP version, and parent theme files are up to date. I turned off all the plugins one by one to see if there was any interference, and there wasn’t. I’ve contacted Dreamhost support as well and they said there shouldn’t be any issues with web fonts not working following an upgrade. I’m confused. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Hello Kira,

Something like this wouldn’t have anything to do with the version of WordPress you’re using. It would just have to do with how you’ve incorporated your web font files and CSS.

Are you sure your web font files are actually present in your child theme? I can see where you’ve incorporated them in your style.css —

But if I, for example, look at one of the fonts “TendernessRegular” and try to pull up any of the font files as you have them linked in your style.css, they don’t seem to exist on your server:
