# Create Read More Popups for Posts

## Using the Remote Content Extension

With the **premium** Popup Maker [Remote Content extension](https://wppopupmaker.com/extensions/remote-content/), follow these 5 steps:

1. Create a popup. You need only one popup because we'll reuse it to display content from each of your posts.
2. Add a click trigger with the **Extra CSS Selector** for your post titles.

3. Drop in a **Remote Content** area using the Popup Maker shortcode button in the editor toolbar.

4. Select **Load From URL** and enter `.entry-content` as the CSS selector that loads your post's content.

5. Target your blog index page.

### The Result

Here's a quick clip that shows the result.

### What's happening in that video?

Thanks to our setup above, when we go to our **Blog** page, all blog post titles become **click triggers** that load post content. To top things off, if you've got a Popup Maker popup inside one of your posts, it'll work. Just be sure to make your popups [Stackable](https://wppopupmaker.com/docs/apply-popup-maker/display-multiple-popups-at-the-same-time/).

Here's a rundown of what's going on in the demo above.

1. The first post has a **Gravity Forms** (GF) shortcode in it. When we click the post title, our popup appears with the GF form.
2. The second post has an image gallery. Clicking on the post tile launches our popup with the gallery inside.
3. Lastly, we preview a post with YouTube [video popups](https://wppopupmaker.com/extensions/videos/) inside it. When we click a button to launch our video popup, it works like a charm. The video loads and starts playing in a completely separate popup. Notice that the "preview" popup is still open in case we want to keep previewing that post or watch another video. How convenient!

The trick is setting our **Remote Content** (post preview) and video popups to be [Stackable](https://wppopupmaker.com/docs/apply-popup-maker/display-multiple-popups-at-the-same-time/) and lowering the [z-index](https://wppopupmaker.com/docs/getting-started/popup-maker-glossary-of-terms/#z-index) of our** **post preview popup by 1 (less than the video popup z-indexes). Since the video popups have a higher z-index than the post preview popup, they'll display "on top" of the post preview popup instead of being hidden behind it.
