I'd have to see the specific part of your html-file to be sure, but I imagine that you've defined a <section></section> part in your html, but did not include a header inside that section. It's considered good practice (symantics-wise) to include a header inside a section. So for example something like this:
<section>
<h2>section header text</h2>
<p>rest of the content<p>
</section>

5,966 PointsHmm weird, looks exactly like instructed by Google Fonts. Maybe it will accept it after replacing the | with %7C So just as you need to escape spaces with %20, you could try to escape | with %7C

Courses Plus Student 1,839 PointsThank you, it worked but can you explain to me what the %7C does please? and i also have an extra warning for the error:
Warning Line 27, Column 15: Section lacks heading. Consider using h2-h6 elements to add identifying headings to all sections. <section>
