Symfony 3: Integrate Wordpress for FRONTEND NICE DISPLAY PURPOSE

Question

I am looking for solutions to integrate WordPress to Symfony 3.

My Symfony 3 project is running well with its own custom functionalities but the landing page looks lame compare to a WordPress landing page.

Now I want to update the visual of the landing page. Knowing that is something easy to do with a WordPress template, I am looking for this solution. (I might delegate the building of the WordPress site but need to be sure I can connect it with my existing Symfony 3 project.)

I found plenty of input on the subject, most of them are olds like: this one or that one.

There is also the EkinoWordpressBundle and symfony-wordpress-edition. But those seem to integrate Symfony within WordPress, and as I only require WordPress for display purposes I'd rather have it the other way around.

Any suggested direction to achieve that?

Follow these steps:

1. Place your wordpress installation into the /web folder e.g /blog

2. edit your symfony .htaccess file, then comment out this line.

   DirectoryIndex app.php

Run your Wordpress as normal i.e wwww.domain.com/blog
