Remove/hide fields

Support

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around hiding fields in user profiles on Discourse. jmamazo wants to hide ā€œAbout meā€, ā€œLocationā€, and ā€œWeb siteā€ from user profiles. Vernam suggests two CSS methods: one to hide the fields in the profile and another to remove user settings. However, these methods only hide content and donā€™t completely remove it. riking agrees that if users have to go out of their way to see the hidden content, itā€™s sufficient. PeteB thanks Vernam for the solution, which also solves a problem they faced.

Hello guys

I am still in the process of learning how to customize discourse.
I would like to hide from the user profile:

  • About me
  • Location
  • Web site

any input about how to do this? perhaps with a plugin?

thanks

I tried with css but couldnā€™t remove the Location..

.primary-textual h3 i, .primary-textual a, .primary-textual .bio {
  display: none;
}

ā€˜iā€™ remove the icon, ā€˜aā€™ the website and ā€˜bioā€™ the about me, you can add '.primary-textual h3ā€™but it will also remove the rank.

Another way would be to remove the user settings

.pref-bio, .pref-location, .pref-website {
  display: none;
}

Both are only hidding content, and any user (who know how to) could with the developper tools see the data, but itā€™s lighter than a whole pluggin only to hide three field

Thatā€™s all that really matters, though - if people have to go that far out of their way to see it, it might as well not be there.
