Thank you for helping me again. I've added a modal.html.erb file. I
included all of the code needed for the modal itself.

Inside of the show action for the posts_controller.rb

def show
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
@new_comment = Comment.build_from(@post, current_user.id, "")
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.js { render layout: false , template: 'modal'}
format.json {render json: @post }
end
end

But, for whatever reason, the link_to image_tag button is targeting the
old show.html.erb action for the post.
