Hide public statistics from /about and about.json

[jrgong]

Hey guys

Is there any way to hide all the stats not just cosmetically via CSS, but actually remove the figures from the about.json file? and possibly restrict it to staff only?

We still want to keep it accessible for theme components like Stat Banner - #16 by nolo

which use … about.json

Do i understand that correctly, that the about.json has to stay public for the stat banner tc to fetch the data?

I believe that’s the case.

You could have a plugin that overrides the about.json route and makes it availble only to staff.
