  I have WordPress and its tables installed and I also have another database where 1 table contains users with user IDs. I want to let my website visitors to register on my site and after that, browse the list of users from that other DB table, and “claim” one profile. In other words, create a relationship between their WP ID and on of the existing user IDs they select. Is there a plugin or best solution for this scenario?

  Using plugins here requires a paid Business Plan: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/#using-other-plugins

  So, it would be better to ask for recommendations over at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/ instead.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
