Pure off-topic fun: what is physically on your desk as you read this? I will start — cold coffee, a rubber duck, and far too many sticky notes.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.

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

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

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

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

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

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

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

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

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

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

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.
