Comments.Text: which 'this' are you talking about? this would be better posted as a Comment, not an Answer. Also i tagged this discussion as Drupal since OP was specifying that. Aside from that, yes the Profile approach should also work in WP.

  If you have a contact already created and want to create a Drupal user manually (in a one-off or as-needed fashion), there is an action set up which can be used when you are viewing the contact record:
  
  [![Create user record](https://i.sstatic.net/1EJxg.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/1EJxg.jpg)
  
  Find it under **Actions > Create user record**.
