Publishing static pages on Discourse

Page Publishing allows Admin users to create standalone static pages from topics. This is similar to the process for creating Terms of Service or Privacy Policy pages.

FAQs

Can I make a FAQ or About page public?

You can create a new topic with the desired content and publish it as a page. Change the links in site settings to point to these new pages.

How can I customize the look of a published page?

Use the structure of the HTML document and corresponding CSS selectors to apply custom styles under Admin > Customize > Themes > CSS.
