 * Here’s how I did it.
 * 1. install this plugin:
 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-php-in-posts-and-pages/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-php-in-posts-and-pages/)
 * 2. set your permalinks to /%postname%/
 * 3. create a test page. Codeigniter has a starter controller on ‘welcome’, so 
   create a post or page named ‘welcome’ so that it shows up here:
 * [http://www.yourblog.com/welcome](http://www.yourblog.com/welcome)
 * 4. in the controller file (wp-content/plugins/wp-code-igniter/ci/application/
   controllers/welcome.php)
 * add this line info function index:
 * $GLOBALS[‘ci’][‘fav_color’] = ‘red’;
 * 5. in the blog content add this:
 * My favorite color is: [php]echo $GLOBALS[‘ci’][‘fav_color’];[/php]
 * 6. view page, you should see:
 * My favorite color is: red
 * ***
 * Now you are able to use Codeigniter for controllers/models and use WordPress 
   for your views. The Codeigniter views folder shouldn’t be used as far as I can
   tell.
