About
About Next WordPress
The MIT-licensed project provides efficient pagination using query parameters, full TypeScript type safety with Zod schema validation, shadcn/ui components for beautiful design, and Tailwind CSS styling for rapid development. Built on Next.js App Router architecture with React Server Components, the template delivers fast page loads through server-side rendering while maintaining SEO-friendly URLs and proper metadata handling.
The WordPress integration uses the REST API to fetch posts, pages, and custom content types with built-in support for featured images, post metadata, and taxonomy terms. Perfect for content-heavy websites, blogs, marketing sites, or any project requiring WordPress's powerful content management capabilities combined with Next.js's modern development experience and performance optimizations.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Next WordPress.
Next WordPress is a headless WordPress starter template built with Next.js 16 and the WordPress REST API, offering a modern approach to content management with React Server Components and cutting-edge web technologies. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Next WordPress is made by 9d8dev, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. 9d8dev has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Next WordPress with Next.js, React and Tailwind. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Next WordPress page embeds its live demo from next-wp.com, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Next WordPress listing was last updated on October 8, 2025. That date is the listing's, not the repository's: check the repository's commits for recent activity.
Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/9d8dev/next-wp), then follow the README. The Next WordPress page shows the usual steps and a terminal block with the commands to copy.
Install dependencies with npm install or pnpm install, then run npm run dev. The README in the Next WordPress repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Next WordPress is cloned from its own GitHub repository, so shadcn.io isn't involved. Browsing the page and its live demo need no account either; Pro adds the premium templates, the blocks and the MCP server.
Next WordPress is tagged Next.js, so it deploys wherever a Next.js app does, such as Vercel, a Node.js server or a container. Its README may add steps for its own services.
The Next WordPress listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/9d8dev/next-wp), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Next WordPress's license in its repository, which shadcn.io does not set. Read the LICENSE file before you use it in a client or paid project, and ask the author if it is unclear.
Attribution follows Next WordPress's license. Many permissive licenses ask you to keep the copyright notice and license text in your copy; its LICENSE file says exactly what.
No. The Pro license covers shadcn.io's own Pro code, blocks and premium templates. Next WordPress is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
9d8dev supports Next WordPress, through its GitHub repository: read the docs, open an issue or look for discussions. shadcn.io does not maintain it.
Yes. Once you clone it, Next WordPress is your own code: change the theme, add pages and connect your backend. It uses shadcn/ui, so you can also add more components the same way.
Yes. Components are free with a free account and the blocks are in Pro; both are copied into your project with the shadcn CLI. Check that Next WordPress uses Tailwind CSS and the shadcn/ui setup (a components.json) before you add them, and pick the base library your project already uses.
Yes, with Pro. The shadcn.io MCP server's search_templates tool finds templates by what they are, and returns each one's repository and live demo, so your editor can set up Next WordPress for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 151 other open source Next.js templates like Next WordPress, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/nextjs.
9d8dev has no other templates in the collection.
Yes. The 14 premium templates (Solaris, Reframe Labs, Spherule and Max and more) are built by shadcn.io and come with every Pro plan, if you want maintained code with a design file.
