 Hey there, and welcome to Learn WordPress. Today you're going to learn how to add fonts to your block theme using a handy plugin in the WordPress plugin repository called Create Block Theme. After a short introduction to using Create Block Theme, we will cover how to install it in your WordPress site, recap its theme creation features, and then see how it can manage your fonts. Create Block Theme works in conjunction with the site editor to allow you to create and edit block themes right from the WordPress dashboard. Whether you're developing your new theme on top of a base theme or starting a new block theme from scratch, you will find Create Block Theme very useful. You can install Create Block Theme through the plugins page of your WordPress installation. First, navigate to the list of plugins. Then click on the Add New button. In the search box on the top right, search for Create Block Theme. This will search the WordPress.org plugins repository. Once the plugin is found, click on Install Now to install it. After it's installed, click Activate it to activate it in your WordPress install. Once activated, the Create Block Theme submenu will appear under the Appearance menu in the dashboard. Alternatively, you can also search for Create Block Theme in the WordPress plugins directory at WordPress.org slash plugins. To install it, download the plugin zip file and install it manually through the Add New plugins screen. Once installed, Create Block Theme offers a series of options that streamline your block theme development. You can export the currently active theme and all changes saved in the editor, create a child theme of the active theme based on the changes saved in the editor, clone the currently active theme to a new theme including all the changes from the editor, overwrite the existing theme with the changes saved in the editor, create a brand new theme from scratch, and create a style variation based on the changes made in the global styles interface in the editor. These options are covered in the streamline your block theme development with Create Block Theme tutorial, which you can find on learn.wordpress.org. Create Block Theme also allows you to manage your fonts, either by adding Google fonts or adding local fonts to your theme, which is what you'll be learning in this video. Manage your theme fonts in a new block theme development project. Click on the Manage Theme Fonts menu item. The currently installed fonts will be listed on this page. These are the fonts that are defined in the block themes theme.json font. You can add two types of fonts. Either fonts downloaded and installed from Google Fonts, or local fonts you have on your computer that you've downloaded from other font sources. To add a Google font, click on the Add Google Font button. Then, select a font from the drop-down list. Once a font is selected, the potential font variants will be displayed, along with the preview of the font. Most fonts only have one variant, but some have more than one. Unless you need a specific variant for a specific reason, the regular variants should suffice. Select the variant you want to install by clicking on the box next to the variant. Then click Add Google Fonts to your theme. The font file will be downloaded and added to your theme and configured in the block themes theme.json file. If you look at the theme code in a code editor, you will see the font file is in the Assets Fonts directory. And the JSON object for the new font is added to the font family's array under Topography. While editing global styles in the site editor, you should now see the font listed wherever fonts are selectable. To add a local font file from your computer, click on the Add Local Font option. Click on the Choose File button and browse to the font file located on your computer. You can upload font files with the TTF, WOFF or WOFF2 extension. Take that the font face definition is correct and then click Upload Local Fonts to your theme. As before, the font file will be added to your theme and configured in the block themes theme.json file. If you look at the theme code, you will see that the font file is in the Assets Fonts directory. And the JSON object for the new font is added to the font family's array under Topography. When editing the global styles in the site editor, you should now also see this new font listed wherever fonts are selectable.
