I don't see a portfolio option in my dashboard and I also don't see a portfolio option in the custom fields rules. What did I miss?

5,873 PointsI couldn't see mine because 'Portfolio' is already a page that we created in this lesson, and I can't create a Custom Post Type with the same name. It's interesting that this wasn't covered in the video. Maybe we deleted it in the video previously? I don't think we did, but I could've missed it.

Courses Plus Student 12,739 PointsThe same thing happened to me. When creating the post type slug/name in CPT UI, for some reason 'portfolio' won't work, so you have to use some variation of it, e.g., 'myportfolio'. Once you do this additional tabs show up in the CPT UI interface such as View Post Types and Import/Export Post Types and the slug/name you created 'myportfolio' is selected in the option for Show this field group if/Post Type/is equal to/myportfolio.
