Minimum THeme – portolio doesn't show – get 404

[magnify28]

I have tried to set up the portfolio as per the help/support section

Set up the Portfolio
In Minimum, we have added a special Custom Post Type called Portfolio. In the dashboard admin area of WordPress, find the Portfolio menu item.

Click the Add New link to add a new Portfolio post. Upload your image and mark it as Featured. Add any descriptive text you like.

The theme will generate a portfolio archive page for you, such as http://yourwebsite.com/portfolio/

See demo portfolio.

This relies on custom permalinks set up in WordPress. You may have to resave them after setup.

I don't see a portfolio page being created on domain.com/portfolio

When I look at the menu section, I see a this an an option to add to my menu. After adding it, it shows up but when I click on it, it goes to a 404 page.

I think a few other people have similar issues but have been directed to this help page my.studiopress.com/setup/minimum-theme/ which doesn't give any more that what is pasted above.

Something is missing.  But what?

Thanks.

Did you resave your WordPress permalinks?

I was trying to get the portfolio archive in the menu (Executive theme) and ended up with 404 errors on all portfolio posts including the archive page.

I solved it by:

Go to Settings
Go to Permalinks
Choose "Custom structure": http:// mydomain.com /%postname%/
Save changes

And the 404's were gone.

I still can't find a way to drag the portfolio archive to the menu, but I created a custom link to mydomain.com/portfolio instead and will probably just leave it there.

Changing perma links structure to http:// mydomain.com /%postname%/ also worked for me!
Thanks!
