Combining 2 sql databases for 2 sites

Hi All

We are currently creating two separate websites. One is a general WP informational website, the other is a Buddypress dedicated social media site. We tried to combine the two but found it to be very problematic so we decided to split them up.

Ideally, we would like to marry the two sql databases together so if one person registers for one site they automatically become members of the other site. What is the best way to do this and how do we join the two databases together.

If custom coding is required we would consider hiring a freelancer to do this.

FYI. The main informational website is: http://www.themenscentre.ca
The buddypress site (just put up) is: http://www.menscenterconnection.com

Thanks !

Use this hook:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/user_register

…To create a user on the other site.

This assumes that the only data shared between the databases are the wp_users table entries.
And the registration process has to be identical.

Actually the new domain for our bp site is: http://www.themenscentre.org
