## Description

This small plugin allows you to create a modal / popup / lightbox with WordPress’
default Block editor (Gutenberg). The plugin provides you with a block that can 
be used for the modal’s trigger and the modal’s window contents. Anything you can
do with the block editor, you can use for the modal trigger or the contents.

 * Multiple trigger methods. Use the power of the Block Editor to create your trigger(
   buttons, images, covers, and more).
 * Flexible modal content. Similarly to the trigger, use the Block Editor to define
   the content inside your modal content.
 * Supports multiple modals on the same page.
 * More to come.

To create a modal, simply use the Modal Builder block to create a trigger. Use another
Modal Builder block to create the content (make sure you select the appropriate 
content type under the modal settings). On both instances, set the “Content ID” 
to whatever you want as long as both instances match. You are set.

## FAQ

### Will there be more options for customization?

Certainly. Provided there is support and interest, more features will be added as
often as we are able to!

### Can there be multiple triggers for one Modal?

Yes! You can create as many triggers with different inner blocks as you like.

### The plugin does not work properly on auto loaded posts?

try turning those plugins off or switching themes. If you need more assistance,

This is a simple yet flexible modal view plugin, exactly what I need. You can assign
hot link to any Gutenberg block element and trigger a popup with any other block
content. Works right in the Gutenberg editor. All other popup and modal view plugins
are bloated with crap I don’t need.

The Plugin Modal Builder Block is not working on WordPress Version 6.4.3. It seemed
to be a great plugin; maybe the developer is willing to update it? Cheers
