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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

The importer preserves original dates and maps forums to spaces. Always run with --dry-run first to preview counts, take a database backup, then run the real import. It batches large…

Run wp jetonomy flush-rules (or visit Settings > Permalinks and save) after changing the base slug. The 404s are stale rewrite rules — regenerating them fixes it immediately.

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