[Support request] Font Optimization Question

Hi there,

Will the next release address this? Not sure why we need to call a local font from the website when we already use System Stack.

The mentioned font file is for WP Show Post’s social icons. But yeah, I get what you mean.

Tom’s planning to overhaul the plugin and turn it into a block. I believe optimization like this one is a part of it. (usage of SVG so no font file is needed for icon)

Thanks for the detailed response. If SP gets rolled into GB, I assume SP will be sunsetted?

Only Tom can tell (if he changes his mind) if SP gets rolled into GB.

Not all users want GB and I believe Tom knows that and will keep the things separated.

We purchased less than a year ago so wondering how that will work?

We apologize for the delays. We’re supposed to release WPSP 1.2.0 beta last month but GP Premium 2.0 has taken a lot of development time and resources.

It’s the biggest update from all the products Tom develops. It’s Tom’s take on Gutenberg editor as a page builder w/ GenerateBlocks + GeneratePress. I believe WPSP will resume once he’s done with it.

Can’t give any ETAs for that, unfortunately.

Thanks Elvin. Maybe I misunderstood. I have read a few times that SP may be turned into a block. I automatically, and maybe in error, just assumed this will be a GB block?

It will be turned into a block but it will be separated. (again, unless Tom changes his mind)

Not all WPSP users use GB blocks. Some prefer Kadence while others actually use WPSP shortcodes within their page builder plugins.

Making WPSP a part of GenerateBlocks will mean users will be forced to install GenerateBlocks as well and that’s not optimal for users who only want to use WPSP.

No problem. 😀
