[FIXED] How to migrate a website from codeigniter to wordpress?

Issue

I have a website made with codeigniter and I would like to transfer it to wordpress. Keeping the same database and the same contents.

Solution

That is not possible in a simple way no matter of your codeigniter version.

That's because:

• CodeIgniter is "just" a framework where the database schema is totally free designed by the developer and not folling a strict pattern (just some basic naming conventions)

• The WordPress views (final site's html) is generated more from database content and less from coded html whereas codeigniter uses the common mvc-pattern where most of the html is actually coded in the view files

• These are in no way comparable type of systems:

  • WordPress is a CMS
  • CodeIgniter is a MVC-Framework

If I had to migrate a website from codeigniter to wordpress I would build the page-structure by hand. I then would look at the final generated website (from CodeIgniter) in the browser and copy that content by hand in the wordpress pages.
