Just getting started and I want to get the mental model right. A category seems to be a grouping, and a space is where the actual posts live — is that correct?
When should I create a new category versus just another space?

Short answer: yes, and here is the supported path.
Doing it this way means your change survives updates. Hand-editing files does not.
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.
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.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.
Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

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

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

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

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.
