Dark mode toggle in user preferences

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

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

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

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

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