Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

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

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

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.

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

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

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

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

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