How do I configure troubleshooting for a larger community?

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

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

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

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