How to Use WordPress as a Headless CMS

In this video I demonstrate how to build a product website with blog and a contact form, using WordPress as a Headless CMS. We will use the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin to create a cusotm post type (content type) in WordPress with custom fields. We will then retrieve the data with the WordPress RESTful API to display it in a Next.js Web Application. I will also show you how to integrate the native WordPress Posts and Pages types with Next.js and utilize the Contact Form 7 Plugin, together with Flamingo to build a form, integrate it with out Next.js web application and implement validation for it.
