Hello everyone,
I haven’t found a good answer anywhere else, so sorry if this is a repeat.
I’m setting Discourse up for a client, and they have a use-case where they would not like users to be able to easily discover the number of registered users on the site. On the /about page, there is a Users/Active Users count - which I would like to disable or hide.
I thought I saw a reference that said I could edit the template for /about, but I wanted to double check there wasn’t a configuration setting I was missing.
Thanks so much!

Thanks! I’ll start with that, but I’d like to work towards an approach that doesn’t render in the markup at all.
Maybe along the same lines I could embed a single of JS that removes the .about.stats element all together.
