    Hi team, I already have a deployed web app that is developed with next.js. Now we want add a blog to the web app. I am wondering if I can add the blog as using WordPress as a headless CMS and Graphql to query the content to my repository (next.js).

    So basically the structure will be website.de/blog/[postID]

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

    Hi there,

    On WordPress.com we use a managed version of WordPress that is intended for end users and is not appropriate for custom development.

    Instead I would recommend that you consider the self-hosted version of WordPress, which can be had through a “traditional web host” like Bluehost, GoDaddy, etc. The open-source software itself is free and you can download it here if you prefer to set up your own hosting: https://wordpress.org/download/

    Since your question is fairly advanced, you will likely get the best help here at this link, hope this points you in the right direction!
