About BF Modal
From the official readme · v1.1.3Description
BF Modal is made to convert any custom post type, page or post to modal. Plugin

templates so each page can have different template. You can also override based on
post type.

Convert pages and post types to modal
How this plugin works
- Simply go to BF Modal Options page and choose post type you want to convert to modal
- Choose an archive page, page that will be displayed below this popup
- Go to Settings -> Permalinks and save permalinks so rewrite rules can be rewritten
- That’s it, you are good to go, post type single page will open in modal when you visit URL
If you add links to modal pages somewhere it will go to that link and open popup/modal, but if you
want to stay on the same page and not actually go to different page then you can use
To your link you add class js-bfml-modal-trigger and post-data-id attribute with post id
Example:
<a href="#" class="js-bfml-modal-trigger" data-post-data-id="12">
This is a test post type Link
</a>

1. Go to page you want to convert, find Modal Page options meta box
2. Set Is Modal to true and set your archive page
3. Settings -> Permalinks and save permalinks
