What is the difference between a category and a space?

Omar Haddad Omar Haddad 2 weeks ago Resolved

Just getting started and I want to get the mental model right. A category seems to be a grouping, and a space is where the actual posts live — is that correct?

When should I create a new category versus just another space?

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.
