Hi there,
I’m looking to place one specific category into read-only mode and was wondering how we can do this. I know we can place the whole community into read-only but we only wish to do this for one topic as the trial is coming to an end.
Any help would be appreciated.
All the best,
Luke
If it is a topic you could archive or close it it. For a category you could change the category permission to “see”. Then people cannot post there anymore.
To see or understand what Moin mentioned about category permissions, see this guide: How to create private categories using category permission / security settings - howto / faq - Discourse Meta
Hi Moin and Osioke 
Thanks so much for your help this has been really handy. Have a great day
