page-portfolio not showing images !

You using the_post_thumbnail wrong way. It not return image src, it return img tag. Ex:

<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> return: <img src="example.com/img/treehouse.jpg" alt="">

I think you need remove space before portfolio post type

$args = array( 'post_type' => ' portfolio' );

->

$args = array( 'post_type' => 'portfolio' );

So you can't see Featured image select on the right in portfolio?

Click CPT UI in admin menu -> choose tab 'Edit Post Types' -> select custom post type you want to enable featured img (select box on the left) -> scroll down to bottom, you can see on the right side have Supports field -> check Featured images -> now you should see Featured image section on custom post type

You can add this code to check post has thumbnail:

if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
    the_post_thumbnail();
        // you should use chrome dev tool to check return value
        // and change define('WP_DEBUG', true) in wp-config.php, it'll display error if something wrong.
}
else {
    echo 'post thumbnail not set';
       // maybe you forgot set post thumbnail;
}

let me know result.

upon file you send to me. just add add_theme_support( 'post_thumbnails' ) to functions.php and follow image(link updated).

I was test on local and post thumbnail work well.

You welcome, I'm just student like you. Try and fail is normal in web dev field, as long as you do not give up.

Good luck! :)

Maybe teachers have alot of work, they still answer some topic.

If you feel confused, I think better is watch video again and follow step by step until you fully understand. Learn new skill need patient. Another great tutorial for make WordPress theme

Hey Walter, what you have to do - I assume you've checked the boxes in CPT UI panel - is add an <img /> tag just before the_post_thumbnails();

Example: <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img /><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'large' ); ?></a>

this worked for me.

<?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(); ?>"><img /><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'large' ); ?></a>
      </div>

    <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

    </section>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

this is my page-portfolio.php

Thank you so much for the response. Then, if it returns the tag, should i show it like this ? Still not working...

'''html

<?php
/* Template Name: Portfolio
*/ ?>

<?php get_header();

?>

<?php

$args = array(

'post_type' => ' portfolio'

);

$query = new WP_Query ( $args );

?>

<div class="content container portfolio-preview">

<h2>Ver portfolio</h2><small>-Web- -Diseño- -Ilustración- -Social Media- -S.E.O- -S.E.M-</small>  

<div class="container content">

<?php if( $query ->have_posts() ) : while( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>

    <div class="c_6 item">

        <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'large' ); ?>

        <div class="item-name content">

            <div class="c_8">

                <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink()?>"></a><?php the_title()?></h3>

            </div>

            <div class="c_4">

                <h3>Zoom</h3>

            </div>

        </div>

        <span class="tech-used">

            <ul>

                <li><?php  echo the_category()  ?></li>

            </ul>

        </span> 

    </div>

    <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata();  ?>

</div>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I really appreciate your help, but still doesn't work... here is the code:

''''html <?php
/* Template Name: Portfolio
*/ ?>

<?php get_header();

?>

<?php

$args = array(

'post_type' => 'portfolio'

);

$query = new WP_Query ( $args );

?>

<div class="content container portfolio-preview">

<h2>Ver portfolio</h2><small>-Web- -Diseño- -Ilustración- -Social Media- -S.E.O- -S.E.M-</small>  

<div class="container content">

<?php if( $query ->have_posts() ) : while( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>

    <div class="c_6 item">

        <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'large' ); ?>

        <div class="item-name content">

            <div class="c_8">

                <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink()?>"></a><?php the_title()?></h3>

            </div>

            <div class="c_4">

                <h3>Zoom</h3>

            </div>

        </div>

        <span class="tech-used">

            <ul>

                <li><?php  echo the_category()  ?></li>

            </ul>

        </span> 

    </div>

    <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata();  ?>

</div>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

It throws me there is not thumbnail. I tried using add_theme_support for thumbnails , but neither works. Thumbnails in plugins also checked. Debug modified to true, and not throw any message through the console.. Could be something wrong with my functions.php?

or something missing...

'''php

<?php

//INCLUDING MENUS

add_theme_support( 'menus' ); add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails');

function register_theme_menus(){

register_nav_menus(

    array(

            'primary-menu' =>__( 'Primary Menu' ),
            'footer-menu' =>__( 'Footer Menu' )

        )

);

}

add_action('init','register_theme_menus');

// INCLUDING STYLES

function colorful_theme_styles(){

wp_enqueue_style('main_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'colorful_theme_styles' );

// INCLUDING JAVASCRIPT

function colorful_theme_js(){

wp_enqueue_script( 'main_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/app.js', array('jquery'),'',true); 

}

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','colorful_theme_js');

?> '''

If you do not mind, you can install backup plugin, then backup both database and files and send to me. I'll check this in free time.

Here you have my files

Thank you soo much for your time.

You send me wrong file. file is wordpressbackup plugin not wordpress site + database

The choices i have in admin is: Just files. Just database. Or both. Which one should I send?

send me both file + database

That's what i've tried to share before, but i sent the wrong link. Here it is. New Link

I don't have permission to download this file

Link updated

Hmm... I still only permission to view, can't download, you need check again

I did it, but still doesn't work.

Perhaps, as I didn't started with a child theme, i have missing some code.. because I can't understand... I will start from a child theme and test. Although I would like to know what is happening here..

Thank you so much nguyen. You are great partner.. or you are from treehouse team?

thank you for your support, it doesn't work..

If there's someone who can send me a code working, to check it out and compare.. I'm blocked here since 2 weeks... =( so sad

Still doesn't work... Maybe i should try send the question to Zac..
