For some reason my query is echoing out my regular posts instead of the ones set in the array as post-type-> 'portfolio'

Is this broken ? I have everything set up exactly as show in the video <div class="row"> <?php 

      $args = array(
        'post-type' => 'portfolio2');
      $the_query = new WP_Query($args);
    ?>




      <?php if (have_posts()) : while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query ->
       the_post(); ?>
       <div class="col-sm-3 portfolio-piece">
       <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>

      </div>

      <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

  </div>

This is only displaying my REGULAR posts (Hello World! etc.) instead of the ones created with the new post type portfolio with CPT UI,.... Am I missing here?

Just change post-type in your array to post_type with an underscore instead of a hyphen, and it should work. :)

Thanks I had the same issue, the underscore fixed it
