About page still accessible when about_enabled is false

[migueldemoura]

Accessing /about when that page is disabled still outputs the about.html file since it isn't excluded from the build process. A quick fix is making these changes to the _config.yml file:

.
.
about_enabled: true
#exclude: &about about.html
.
.
exclude:
  - *about
  - .travis.yml
  -  ...
.
.

To disable the about page one needs to set about_enabled to false and also uncomment the exclude: &about about.html line. The two lines can be merged together to be easier for the user, but you lose some intuitiveness.

Another way to fix this is by adding custom logic to the about.html, but it ends up being less clean (though more user-friendly).

@migueldemoura The about page should always be there as it is accessible through the footer. about_enabled is only about the icon in the top navigation :-)

Got it :) . What do you think about changing about_enabled to about_icon_enabled then?

@migueldemoura Perfect for me :D
