15,912 PointsMy Portfolio Pieces are not showing
Hey,
So my portfolio pieces are supposed to show up on the Portfolio Page in the Wordpress Theme Development Course.
I followed along with Zac and my code is the same, but the custom loop doesn't seem to be working on my page-portfolio.php template. I tried putting a test in to see if it works, and it did, so I'm kind of confused.
Here's the code for the page-portfolio.php template
<?php
/*
Template Name: Portfolio Page
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<section class="row">
<div class="small-12 columns text-center">
<div class="leader">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
</section>
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type'=>'portfolio'
);
$query = new WP_Query($args);
?>
<section class="row no-max pad">
<?php if( $query->have_posts() ) : while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
<div class="small-6 medium-4 large-3 columns grid-item">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('large'); ?></a>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</section>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

31,709 PointsRobin, I don't see any syntax errors or missing spellings so my only suggestion would be to go back and make sure that you did in fact name the post type slug "portfolio" and that you set the page template to the correct template. I know it's unlikely, but just double check. After that I would change the post_type to post and see if it will pull in anything at all.

I'm not sure how to do that?

you set the slug from within the Custom Post Type plugin we installed.

15,912 PointsAndrew,
I put in a TEST to see if the Query loop works and it does. I have 4 images, and it loops through 4 times and puts TEST 4 times. This is what I did...
...so I know the loop is working, but for some reason the images are not showing.

15,912 PointsOh my God...I forgot to set the featured image on the portfolio post type...when I did, it worked. Thanks Andrew.
