3 Steps
1

Copy your Nurio Origin URL

Navigate to "Website" in your dashboard and find your assigned Nurio origin URL (e.g. `https://your-workspace.nurio.site`).

Add Rewrites in Next.js (next.config.js)

Add the following rewrites block into your Next.js configuration file:

javascript
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/blog',
        destination: 'https://YOUR-SUBDOMAIN.nurio.site/blog',
      },
      {
        source: '/blog/:path*',
        destination: 'https://YOUR-SUBDOMAIN.nurio.site/blog/:path*',
      },
    ];
  },
};
