Hi
We are thinking of changing the URL address for /faq to /guideline.
Example:
[https://example.community.com/faq](https://example.community.com/faq) to [https://example.community.com/guideline](https://example.community.com/guideline)
Is this possible?
Thank you 🙇‍♂️

I think that page is also available at `/guidelines` by default.
It’s possible to add a custom FAQ url at `/admin/site_settings/category/all_results?filter=faq`, but when I tried adding the guidelines URL there to test it, it did this:
(Guidelines and FAQ both point to `/guidelines`.)

About the custom FAQ url, I’m confused and unable to find this setting under Admin/Settings.
@osioke , sorry, do you have an idea of how I can achieve changing the URL address for FAQ?
If we were to change the user menu too, change **FAQ** to **Guidelines** , this requires changing the theme?

I think you can update that at `/admin/customize/site_texts?q=faq`
(Admin → Customize → Text, and then type “faq” in the search box.)

I went to settings and filtered by the text “faq”. The name of the setting is “faq url”.

Thank you Josh, this works for me!
I managed to change the FAQ title in the site to Guidelines.

I think you mean this?
It seems to be used if our FAQ is hosted on another webpage URL address.
Edit: Ah, I see what you mean now. We can simply enter, for example, https://[our community domain]/guidelines in here.
The tip and solution you’ve provided have solved what I needed to do, thank you! 🙇‍♂️

Hi @j127 ,
Sorry, I realized there’s an error.
After customizing this /admin/customize/site\_texts?q=faq
And in the settings, if I changed the faq URL to https://[our community domain]/guidelines for example, it shows two “Guidelines” tabs at the URL /guidelines.
I’m not sure why.

That’s the issue that I mentioned in my first post. I’m not sure if it’s a bug or if it just wasn’t designed for that purpose.
This is a hack, and someone might come along with a better way, but something like this would probably work in the meantime. 🙂
```css
.nav-pills .nav-item-faq {
display: none;
}
```
(I’m not sure if your class names will be the same.)

Ah I see. thank you @j127
Can I ask where you’re able to access these:

Go to “Settings” → “Customize” and look for your theme in the left sidebar. Click the theme’s name and look in the middle of the page for this:
Click “Edit CSS/HTML”, and you’ll be able to add custom CSS there.
I only tested it in Firefox’s Style Editor (shift+F7). (It lets you add temporary stylesheets to try out CSS code on webpages while you’re looking at them.)

Got it, thanks @j127 !
I’ll try it out 🙂
