# WordPress sharing root namespace

 * I desire a wordpress installation to sit side-by-side a codeigniter application.
   I wish for them to have no interaction with each other. The problem is as follows.
 *  My Server
 *     ```
       assets
       wordpress
       codeigniter
       index.php
       .htaccess
       ```
   
 *  I want wordpress to control the following
 *     ```
       http://site.com/blog
       http://site.com/blog/2011/09/hello-world/
       http://site.com/blog/category/uncategorized/
       http://site.com/blog/tag/untagged/
       ```
   
 *  As well as my custom post type
 *     ```
       http://site.com/portfolio
       http://site.com/portfolio/2011/09/hello-world/
       http://site.com/portfolio/category/uncategorized/
       http://site.com/portfolio/tag/untagged/
       ```
   
 * I have got this working with custom post types as well as nesting wordpress within
   its folder and permalink delegation, all is good on wordpresses end. My problem
   is that I also want codeigniter to occupy the same root namespace and control
   some basic pages.
 *     ```
       http://site.com/about
       http://site.com/resume
       ```
   
 * What I initially set up was the index.php file to contain a series of conditionals
   that can delegate to load which application like this
 *     ```
       if (0 === strpos($cache, '/blog') ||
           0 === strpos($cache, '/portfolio') ||
           0 === strpos($cache, '/feed')
       ){
           // include wordpress
       }else{
           //include codeigniter
       }
       ```
   
 * I originally had /blog and /portfolio and when I found out about /feed I panicked
   are there any other wordpress pages that can be compromised?
    Is there a better
   way that this could be handled?
