Portfolio isn't showing images or Description

I've looked over my code a ton of times and just can't figure out why they aren't displaying

'''<?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(); ?>'''

this is my current code

You probably need to add support for your fields in custom post types.

In the admin area, go to your CPTUI plugin, edit the "portfolio" custom post type and scroll down to the "supports" settings. Make sure that images and supports are checked and then th fields should show up when you add a new portfolio post.
