 * Premium User:
 * I need to open a modal with post content from a read more button. Trying various
   methods.
 * One option I have is to append a modal-link class to the url which I wanted to
   do with jquery, but I cannot get any code added in the custom JS block to run
   when my grid is loaded.

 * Thanks for your post.
 * Can you please send me your demo link where you are trying?
    I am not sure how
   you are trying by clicking on read more button. that button doesn’t contain any
   post id attribute, so read more button may not work properly.
 * another solution you may try, create a shortcode that will generate custom read
   more button, you need to use that shortcode under layout editor
 *     ```
       function custom_read_more(){
   
       return '<a class="modal-read-more" href="#" post_id="'.get_the_id().'">Read more</a>';
       }
   
       add_shortcode('custom_read_more','custom_read_more');
       ```
   
 * yuo will need to use post id on ajax call.
