 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed importing a local font into WordPress failing with a Google Font download error. Custom fonts now upload the selected file directly instead of trying to find it on Google Fonts.
 - Fixed Figma synchronization stopping when a RAW color referenced another variable without a dark-mode value. Light and dark colors now resolve independently, so mixed literal and referenced colors keep their correct values.
 - Fixed Bricks sites hanging when removed Core Framework classes were cleaned up. The initial lookup joined post metadata five times, multiplying rows on sites with many metadata entries. It now checks all five Bricks metadata keys through one join while retaining the existing batched cleanup.
 - Fixed transparent variants and shade/tint counts for RAW colors that reference another variable, such as `var(--bg-body)`. Generated variants now follow the current source color, while manually edited swatches are preserved. Older saved swatches without edit history are left unchanged on load; use Reset on a stale swatch to return it to automatic generation, then save to update the site's CSS.
