Merging Codeignitor with Wordpress

Question

I'm trying to utilize the power of wordpress to set up a blog on my site.

I got it to install fine, but when trying to use wordpress's functions in a CI view the functions are undefined.

http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/48347/ I am following this.

I put the require('blog/wp-blog-header.php') in my index.php file(ci) on the root.

Any idea where I am messing up?

Answer 1

Why both integrating WordPress and CodeIgniter when you could just use PyroCMS and have your entire site running a single CI codebase?

Answer 2

As stated by Phil, why integrate two completely different systems (a blog and a framework) when you can use existing solutions that can prevent a lot from going wrong?
