# WordPress and Users

 * I’ve been running a site for a while now, with two separate WordPress installs
   for two separate purposes. An example would be one solely for political issues
   and the like, the second would be a more community driven purpose, such as book
   and movie reviews, and other recommendations.
 * I’m about to ‘re-invent’ the purpose of the sites for various reasons with several
   of my fellow members.
 * What I’m wondering is if there is a method to use both WordPresses with a single
   user … thing. Not sure what to call it. What I mean is if you register on one,
   it will carry over to the second WP as well.
 * Also; Is it possible to do the same for other software? Like vBulletin forums
   or Coppermine Image gallery?

 * From someone else’s forum post:
 * > Put them both in the same database with different prefixes. Then choose one
   > of them to be the master user table. Then do this in both wp-config.php files:
   > define(CUSTOM_USER_TABLE,’wp_users’);
   >  define(CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE,’wp_usermeta’);
   > Replace the wp_ with the prefix you want, obviously.

 * Awesome. That helps me a lot.
 * I’ve been googling all day as well, and I keep seeing links to plugins that bridge
   accounts from Coppermine and WordPress, but all of them seem to 404.
 * So it would seem that it _is_ possible to use a single account for both sites.
 * Does anyone happen to have any information on how I can go about doing that?
