Tried creating custom Permalinks within the Discourse like:
/about => (external) => https://host.tld/about
forum.host.tld/about => (external) => https://host.tld/about

But it did not help.

Thanks, I know I can hide things, but that’s not the point.
I think it should be possible just to use own custom About pages, just like Privacy and Terms of Service.
(i.e. without monkeypatching)

Hi,
I’ve put this into the CSS but it didn’t work.

The Menu-Buttons at the about / tos / faq pages disappeard but the FAQ-link in the hamburger menu is still there.

How can I remove this one:
