Answers.Text: Thanks Everyone for your support. I finally used the CiviCRM WordPress Profile Sync;  and it seemed to work 89%. My issue now is that I want to be able to build the old CiviCRM system by importing the data step by step so that I can have control over everything. The reason I want to do that is I was trying to create a new event and want to set the fees but the fee settings refuses to save. If the fee is not saved, registration isn't possible. The system has been there for a couple of years now.

Answers.Text: Ok. I will try that. which one do you suggest to come first? the contacts? or groups? and also, how do I deal with the groups when I import the contacts? do I have to add them individually to the groups? Or I should rather import the the groups first and get almost an entire list of contacts in the end?

  My situation is I have an Individual database of 11,344 Contacts in Drupal Civi, and I want to turn them all into WP Users. I know I can convert Users into Contacts, but I want to do it the other way around.
  I have pointed my WordPress CiViCRM to a drupal Civi database which I need very much. I want the CiViCRM members to show under WordPress users but this isn't working. I have downloaded the plugin [CiviCRM WordPress Profile Sync](https://wordpress.org/plugins/civicrm-wp-profile-sync/); but I can see the plugin on button on my dashboard to even try something. Can you please help me? I really need this issue solved. Thank you
