How can I have YouTube videos mixed with blog posts on my blog page

[Sara]

I would like to add our YouTube videos as posts on our blog, but rather than embedding them in posts, I want them to pop up from the main blog page (like is done here: https://neilpatel.com/blog/ – click on any video image, for example ‘Stop Using Facebook Ads’ and you’ll see that when the link is clicked a lightbox pops up and the video plays.)

Is there a way to do this with GeneratePress? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

Nothing built-in unfortunately.

You’d need a lightbox plugin like WP Featherlight:
