How to migrate from bbPress without losing data

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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