convert custom post type listing template stage: projects background color problem

I had this issue as well but I found that I did not input all the fields in the admin area under "custom fields/work". Also make sure you use the data to input from the "work-projects.txt" file. That file can be found in the project files zip file from http://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-build-a-wordpress-theme/content-strategy-with-wordpress/project-overview

Couple things to try:

• Do you see you see the color picker field when you edit a project in the admin area?
• If you try to call the_field('background_color') in your template somewhere you can see it (like under the title) does the correct color display?
• If you try to hard code a color into the inline styles for the project, does that work?

Hi Donal,

Ensure the following is properly keyed in:

<?php

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

$the_query = new WP_Query ( $args );

?>
