hi, I'm developing a site with nextjs and I need to put it online in a static hosting, so for this reason I inserted the 'output:export' command in my configuration. I connected the project to the Wordpress cms from which I retrieve the data for the individual posts. The problem is that if I insert a new post and don't re-build, I don't see the specific page of the new post. How can I solve it? For my needs, the data will change often on the cms and I don't want to build every time I upload new content.

if you enable output: export for static export, you have no way to update or add new pages/content without rebuilding
This is only ideal when you have your contents don't change often
in your case, I think ISR will be ideal
also I don't know which CMS you are using but check this out as well

James4u
that's okay
see my previous response!

no, because i need to use 'output: export' and deploy the website to static hosting (without node)

@James4u If I use pages router?

still not possible. static export doesn't have a server so the data received during build is final and immutable for the entire lifetime of that deployment
