Hi Algardas, Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me.
The setting indeed stopped me from editing but I was still able to post a comment with commentboxplus. Also, at the bottom of every page I got this message (even when I was just browsing the page): "PmWiki can't process your request Cannot modify site - $EnableReadOnly is set." However, I'm glad you pointed out that setting to me. It might come in handy later.
