never include wordpress file in main website can lead many errors. instead, use codeigniter's second database connection connect wordpress database. searching get wordpress posts database codeigniter have found gist , this article. following code taken article. note code codeigniter 2 , code not tested. have dealt many databases in codeigniter before, ask if find trouble.

a. add different settings data in application/config/database.php file along side main website database settings:

$db['wordpress']['hostname'] = "wordpress_db_host"; // database host $db['wordpress']['username'] = "wordpress_db_username"; // db user name $db['wordpress']['password'] = "wordpress_db_password"; // db user password $db['wordpress']['database'] = "wordpress_db"; // database name 

b. build wordpress model in application/models/wordpress_model.php:

<?php if (!defined('basepath')) die ('no direct script access allowed!');  class wordpress_model extends ci_model {     function getposts()     {         $this->load->database('wordpress', true); // load database          // wordpress posts, customize         $this->wordpress->select("post_id, post_title, post_content");         $this->wordpress->from('post_tbl');         $this->wordpress->limit(5);         $query = $this->wordpress->get();         $data['posts'] = $query->result();          $this->load->view('wordpress_posts_view', $data); // load view file , passing $data array view file     } } 

c. create view file in application/views/wordpress_posts_view.php:

<h4>display records database using codeigniter</h4> <table>     <tr>         <td><strong>post id</strong></td>         <td><strong>post title</strong></td>     </tr>     <?php foreach($posts $post){?>         <tr>             <td><?php echo $post->post_id;?></td>             <td><?php echo $post->post_title;?></td>         </tr>         <?php }?>   </table> 

d. now, can call in codeigniter controller:

<?php if (!defined('basepath')) die ('no direct script access allowed!');  class homepage extends ci_controller {     public function index()     {         $this->load->model('wordpress_model');          $data['wordpress_html_posts'] = $this->wordpress_model->getposts();         print_r($data['wordpress_html_posts']);     } }
