civiCRM wordpress plugin: prevent civiCRM from creating contacts automatically
March 25, 2014, 04:10:36 am
Hi Guys,

I have an issue when I work with civiCRM, basically I don't want the civiCRM wordpress plugin to create contacts automatically when a wordpress user is created or updated. This look a wired requirement, but yes this is what I want. Now civiCrm wordpress plugin will automatically create a contact in crm when a new wordpress user is created. Am I able to remove this?

I have been searching for this long time, it seems the only way is to modify the crm source code, but there are too many files, so if you can help me, I will really appreciate it

no, u cannot remove it via the UI :(

i'd recommend you let this happen and live with it. Not worth hacking the code base for this

yeah, I know, but the problem is if I let this happen, it will create many duplicated contacts. So any recommendations regarding duplicated contacts that will be generated?  Thanks a lot

if civi finds a contact with the same email address, it reuses that contact and does not create a new one

Perhaps you should check the fields that your unsupervised duplicates rule is set to match on.
