Privacy Policy not showing up

AI-generated summary

CraigSmith is trying to display links to their external Privacy Policy and Terms of Service (ToS) on every page of their Discourse site, but after adding the URLs in the admin console, they are not appearing.

awesomerobot explains that the links are automatically added to the About page navigation, providing screenshots to illustrate where to find this. They also suggest two options for linking from every page: customizing the site’s navigation or using a custom theme, linking to a helpful resource (https://meta.discourse.org/t/easy-responsive-footer/95818).

JammyDodger initially thought filling in the company name admin setting was required to generate the ToS and Policy tabs, but retracted that statement after testing, confirming that only the tos url setting is needed.

I would like to have links to external privacy policy and ToS visible on every page. I added the URLs into the boxes in the admin console but they don’t show up anywhere on the site.

When you add the links to the admin settings, they should be linked to from the about page navigation here:

If you’d like to link them from every page, you’d need to either customize your site’s navigation (from the “more” section in the sidebar)

or you’d have to use a custom theme — you can build one yourself or use an off-the shelf component like Easy Responsive Footer

I think you also need to fill in the company name admin setting to generate the ToS and Policy tabs too.

Nope. Should’ve tested it first to make sure. :slight_smile: Seems like that’s unnecessary when you add your own one to the tos url setting. Which also makes a lot of sense. :slight_smile:
