Title: Sync WordPress users to Organizations instead of Individuals?
ThreadText: # Sync WordPress users to Organizations instead of Individuals?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-03-08)
  
  We're using the WordPress integration of CiviCRM.
  
  When we create a new WordPress user, civiCRM creates a new Contact - Good.
  
  However, when it does this is creates an **Individual** type Contact. I want civiCRM to create **Organization** type Contact when I create a new WordPress user.
  
  Is this possible? If not, am I able to convert **Individuals** into **Organizations**? I've seen an extension for it on the site but didn't know if it worked well or if there were alternatives.
  
  Thank you for any advice

  I have used the [Contact Editor](https://civicrm.org/extensions/contact-editor) extension to change households to individuals. It should change individuals to organizations but I have never tried this.
  
  I can't speak towards changing CiviCRM contacts synced to WordPress users. This could have an adverse effect so I would proceed cautiously.
