@ GeeksOnTheBeach Had the same problem issue with Google fonts not loading in the Gantry template admin panel.

The issue turned out to be an htaccess rule that disallowed access to the directory where the .json file is kept.

I was getting a 403/forbidden error when trying to access the file located at www.example.com/libraries/gantry ... fonts.json

My .htaccess file was protecting that folder.

I used AdminTools (great firewall/security app for Joomla btw) htacess maker for enhanced security. If your htaccess file was created by hand or with different sofeware, the fix will differ slightly.

In my case, I was to use AdminTools to add an exception by adding "libraries/gantry/admin/widgets/fonts/js/google-fonts.json" to the exceptions list in the section titled: Allow direct access, except .php files, to these directories.

The resulting .htacess security exception rule looks like so:

RewriteRule ^libraries\/gantry\/admin\/widgets\/fonts\/js/ - [L]

Hope this helps someone.

Just before our next deployment to our production server we are trying to be on top of errors and we have found another SocialConnect error in our back-end. It mention that a plugin and I have checked our plugins but can not see that any of them should create this problem.Please see below;

$('socialConnectCounters').toggleClass('socialConnectModal');
});

Hello Finn,
Your backend is loading two versions of jQuery 1.9.0 and 1.7.2.
This is causing the issue. You can use an extension like jQuery Easy if you cannot find which extension is loading the 1.9 version.
This way only one version will be loaded.
