Hi all — community manager, longtime lurker

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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