  1. I’ve used 3 tricks for getting WordPress content into CodeIgniter:

    1. Pull via XMLHttpRequest from a custom WP template (skip headers/footers/sidebars). I like this method as it is highly decoupled, and it makes for fast page loads.
    2. Pull via CURL or get_file*. This is similar to using XMLHttpRequests, but server side.
    3. Wrap WP in a library. This is more work, but the essence is calling the core WP object from a CI library. I prototyped this method last year, but found that #1 performed better (and it allowed me to move the content to another server later).

    Note, you could also IFrame the page, but IFrames seem a bit hackish given #1 and #2.
