We would like to hide the +New Topic button on top level categories when sub-categories are present. I found a post that showed how to hide the +New Topic button on the main category screen but it is still present on the top level category screens.

We do not allow users to post to top level categories when we have created sub-categories so the +New Topic button is not needed.

Has anyone done this before?

Thanks for the help
