title: '`getInitialProps` Export Warning'
---

## Why This Warning Occurred

You attempted to statically export your application via `output: 'export'` or `next export`, however, one or more of your pages uses `getInitialProps`.

Next.js discourages you to use `getInitialProps` in this scenario.

## Possible Ways to Fix It

Use `getStaticProps` instead for proper SSG support.
