If it’s just a ‘Read this before you post’, then just create the topic, and then in
dashboard>topics>all topics and edit the topic you want, then under topic attributes on the right hand side, change from open to closed.
If you make this a ‘super sticky ‘ under types in the same box, you only need create this topic once, and it will appear at the start of every forum.
I tried this but if I do this the topic wont show any content.
The topic also appears with gray font instead of black

I found a topic on this issue, however I Didnt managed to fix it ( Im using Magicraft theme by the way )
I found the bbpress.css and added:
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .status-closed a {
color: #ccc;
}
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-topics-front ul.super-sticky,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-topics ul.super-sticky,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-topics ul.sticky,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-forum-content ul.sticky {
background-color: #ffffe0 !important;
}
Anyway, even if the gray out issue was fixed, I still can’t see any content of the closed topic.
I think you found a topic on an issue – since it didn’t fix it, suggest it is not relevant.
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
I disabled all plugins except bbpress & bbPress and set the theme to twentytwelve
The error was still there tho.
I found the way to fix the gray out issue for most people. However this didnt worked for me.
In this folder: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css
Open up bbpress.css and find #bbpress-forums .status-closed,
I changed color: #ccc; to #000;
This should have fixed the gray out issue. However it did not worked =/
This is a paste of the bbpress.css file: I changed line 59

I managed to work it out!
#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
background-color: #transparent;
color: #000;
}
It was just a matter of messing around with the things provided!
The issue not readable was a hidden option issue, I deleted the topic and made a new one. It shows just perfectly now 😀
great – glad you’re fixed !
