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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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