Prevent wordpress from changing htaccess

Question

I need to use wordpress/woocommerce functions on codeigniter. I've tried the Woocommerce Rest Api and it is extremely slow. So for an alternative i've copied wordpress/woocommerce to codeigniter upload folder. In the index.php in codeigniter i've added

  require_once('/home/sites/example.co.uk/public_html/retail/uploads/wordpress/wp-load.php');
        require_once('/home/sites/example.co.uk/public_html/retail/uploads/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');

Which is fine, i can now use wordpress functions but my codeigniter urls have been changed. I've removed the .htaccess from the Wordpress folder and urls are still changed. How do i solve?

Answer 1

I solved this by changing the site_url to wp_site_url in the wordpress folder. Now the urls in codeigniter aren't being changed.
