Want to allow users to post to subcategory only and not into the category itself. For example, I have a category called ‘Classes’ with subcategories as the various classes underneath. Classes Adv Algorithms Arduino Programming Raspberry Pi OpenCV… It doesn’t make sense to post directly in the ‘Classes’ as that is generic term… I ONLY want them to post in the subcategories. I can set permissions but that still allows them to start posting in Classes and doesn’t give an error until they actually attempt to submit the post, I’m sure this has been asked before and I searched but I could not see it asked this way.

You are correct… I had to perform a CTRL-F5 in Chrome. After that the New Topic button could not be selected. Thanks that makes it work!

I would also recommend hiding the new topic button in that category, it caused a lot of confusion on my site having it there but greyed out. Just add this css and change the category slug, I assumed your slug was classes. body.category-classes #create-topic { display: none !important; }
