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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

You can pin a topic from its action menu — look for "Pin to space." A space can hold more than one pinned topic; pinned items sort above the rest…

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

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.
