CodeIgniter and creating a CMS

[eluser]jjDeveloper[/eluser]
Another suggestion is using Wordpress and bootstrapping codeigniter into your Wordpress theme if you want to use codeigniter to perform tasks.

This worked for me as I saw it like this

MVC design pattern

Wordpress = controller and view
Codeigniter = model

Now you can have a custom app in codeigniter which you can use in your Wordpress themes.

It's a heavy way of doing things but you get the best of both worlds.
