Not Solved 2018-12-28, 03:28 AM
Currently I am using my forum in a sub-domain. Soon I will be moving it to the root domains. As I use Google Adsense I need Privacy Policy, Terms of Use and also a separate Contact Page. As I will be making mybb forum as my home page in the root domain so how can add these pages or atleast you know put a link somewhere.

Any suggestions are welcome. Blush

basically I prefer to use a page manager plugin (eg. MyBB-PageManager)
and add required pages & add required links at the header / the footer

or
you can use TOS Page & add all required content in that page

Why not try to use default help documents and adding new Section / Documents as per your need?
admin/index.php?module=config-help_documents

Separate contact us page is also in-built. contact.php

No programming knowledge needed. It can be done through ACP:

ACP > Configuration > Help Documents (left) > Add New Section / Add New Document

Okay this one helps.

But if I can put the privacy policy link in somewhere in the homepage then it will be better, you know outside the help document.

Create your help document from there and you are free to include the link in footer. It should look something like:

<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']/misc.php?action=help&hid=8">Privacy Policy</a>
(Be sure about the hid)
