  1. Well for starters I would install laravel to a directory outside your public_html (call it laravel)

    root
  |
   ---public_html
  |
   ---laravel

    Then I would create a sym-link in your wpdir pointing to the public directory in your laravel directory.

    folowing the patter:

    ln -s /path/to/file /path/to/symlink

    You could do 

    ln -s /laravel/public /public_html/wpdir/laravel

    Then the probably the best bet would be to create a rule in your .htaccess file to circumvent wordpress’ pretty urls

    something like this:

    RewriteRule ^laravel($|/) - [L]

    This link might help with the rewrite rule:
