Diplaying Custom Post type

[codebot5000]

Hi, I created a custom post type and published a post here http://www.jeff-cunningham.com/jc_portfolio/first-custom-post/ Now I would like this post to display on a page I created called portfolio. I tried matching the permalink of the portfolio page to the permalink of the custom post above, however it still does not display on the portfolio page.

I have tried looking this up online but no one is clear on how to do this. I followed several articles that told me to match the permalinks and make sure the permalink setting was set to post name which I did.

Any knowledge you could impart would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I see the post at http://www.jeff-cunningham.com/jc_portfolio/first-custom-post/
The archive at jeff-cunningham.com/jc_portfolio/ might not be set up right.
Did you set the page template to the archive for your custom post type?

I did not set up a page template because as soon as I set my has_archive to true my whole page breaks. You will see now that there is an internal sever error as a result of adding this 'has_archive' => true,

Here is the custom post type I'm working with

Hi,

you are missing a comma after 'portfolio Selection':

'menu_name'          => 'portfolio Selection'
'has_archive'        => true,

Thanks, the page is now working, but I still can't seem to get my custom post type page to display in the nav menu. I have tried the method copied below. The problem is that after I refresh the permalinks I'm not seeing anything display in the menu section that I can drag over.

Displaying Your Post Type on the Front End

Once you’ve added some products, you’ll need to be able to display these on the front end of your site.
Setting Permalinks to Link to Your Post Type’s Pages

First you need to refresh the permalinks on your site so that WordPress will use the correct links to display products or product archives:

In the WordPress admin, go to Settings -> Permalinks.
Make sure the ‘post name’ option is selected.
Click the Save Changes button.

Note: You need to do this even if you’ve already configured permalinks, as WordPress needs to refresh these settings for the new set of links to your products.
Adding Your Post Type to the Navigation Menu

If you want to add products to your navigation menu, you can. Go to Appearance -> Menus, and you’ll see that Products are displayed on the left. Simply drag any products onto your menu to include them.

Hi,

sorry, I cannot replicate your problem.
I'm using your code, "refreshed" the permalinks and created 3 test portfolios.
This is what shows under Appearance - Menus

I don't know what the issue is. It works fine on my localhost page but wont work on my parallax pro child theme. It's driving me crazy.
