Hi everyone :slight_smile: Is there an easy/quick way to shut down the forum or stop posting for a certain period of time? Other than changing all categories settings. Any help would be much appreciated!

Go to your https://your-site/admin/backups page and click the Enable read-only mode

Well, the easiest way is to setup your forum in read-only mode. This means that the site remains online and users can only read topics but can not interact (reply, open new topics, put Like etc).

Thanks Daniela :slight_smile: can you tell me how to do that?

Nevermind! looked it up and found out.

You can also configure a global alert that tells users that the site is paused, so they stay quiet :wink:

Yes there is, via the rails console: Discourse.disable_readonly_mode(Discourse::USER_READONLY_MODE_KEY)

Shut-down the forum / Turn-off posting

네, rails 콘솔을 통해 가능합니다:

Discourse.disable_readonly_mode(Discourse::USER_READONLY_MODE_KEY)
