Additionnaly, if you're using a .htaccess file like the one suggested on CI doc, it should work by dropping WP directory directly into web root dir.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#Removes access to the system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
#previously this would not have been possible.
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#This last condition enables access to the images and css folders, and the robots.txt file

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt|corporate|assets)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Because of the RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f and RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d any call made directly to a real file on webserver would be served directly by Apache, other uris wil be handled by CI's routing mecanism.

Notice we used a last RewriteCond directive to exclude calls to certains files, including our assets dir (containing images/css/js static files) and 'corporate' dir which contains in this case a blog.

Although this example do not use wordpress, it has its own url-rewriting and routing system.

In a matter of conclusion, you'll have use a specific RewriteCond statement if you want to use WP url-rewriting, if not it could work without it.
