Is there a way for 2 separate WP installs to sync their users/members

  • hello,

    why do this?
    WP1.com is a publication, aka, the content.
    WP2.com is a subscription, aka, the payment processing.

    I can see other benefits for doing this, but need to have the registration process on WP2 and the member’s login, already be inserted on WP1 (obviously, don’t need to have a member sign up twice).

    So my question is how to atomically, programmatically accomplish this task, without causing problems.

    — a type of sync?
    — just execute a script after WP1 completed registration?
    — pass info from WP1 to WP2?

    your thoughts, advice…
    THANKS!

    Is this not doable or advisable?
    Or it can work, but no one has done it?

    Please do not bump topics. It doesn’t have the effect you think it does in these forums. Doing so actually works against you because your topic falls off the “No Replies” list that experts here use to find those still needing help. It’s against our guidelines too.

    I believe there are a number of single or common sign-on plugins. I’ve never used any and so cannot refer you to any. The validation process is filterable and pluggable so it’s certainly possible to at least validate log ons through another site. Completely syncing all user data is a lot more involved but ought to be possible. Or more accurately, utilizing user data of a remote site. Mirroring data in multiple places should also be possible, but I would advise against that approach. Redundant data should be avoided (except as backups)

    As @bcworkz rightly said, you MAY be able to achieve this with plugins. However, the plugin itself would have to be synced across the two installations, so it’s PROBABLY possible, but if it is, it’ll be very difficult.
