Hello guys

I am still in the process of learning how to customize discourse.  
I would like to hide from the user profile:

- About me
- Location
- Web site

any input about how to do this? perhaps with a plugin?

thanks

I tried with css but couldn’t remove the Location..

```
.primary-textual h3 i, .primary-textual a, .primary-textual .bio {
  display: none;
}

```

‘i’ remove the icon, ‘a’ the website and ‘bio’ the about me, you can add '.primary-textual h3’but it will also remove the rank.

Another way would be to remove the user settings

```
.pref-bio, .pref-location, .pref-website {
  display: none;
}

```

Both are only hidding content, and any user (who know how to) could with the developper tools see the data, but it’s lighter than a whole pluggin only to hide three field

That’s all that really matters, though - if people have to go that far out of their way to see it, it might as well not be there.
