 * Hey [@yigitkeremoktay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yigitkeremoktay/),
 * The External Login plugin allows users to login to WordPress with credentials
   stored in an external database.
 * It creates users in WordPress when they are authenticated with the external database.
 * I’m not sure what you mean exactly, does this answer your question?

 * Not fully. I want users to be created in the external database not internal wordpress
   database. Is this something possible is it something that can/will be added to
   the plugin?

 * This is the opposite of what the plugin achieves I’m afraid so no it doesn’t 
   support that.
 * It would be relatively easy job for a developer to pick up if you can find one
   though.
 * I think I’ve answered your question so I’ll mark this as resolved.
 * If you have any more questions about the plugin please don’t hesitate to get 
   back in contact 🙂
