Images not visible --> source code tells me that it's showing my normal posts

Hi guys,

Done everything correct.. i think

    <?php
/*
    Template Name: portfolio pagina
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>

        <section class="row">
          <div class="small-12 columns text-center">
            <div class="leader">

            <!-- BEGIN VAN DE LOOP -->
            <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

              <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
              <?php the_content(); ?>

            <?php endwhile;  endif; ?>
            <!-- EINDE VAN DE LOOP -->    

            </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(); ?>

when i inspect elements.. i see this at the place where the images should be:

<a href="http://localhost:8888/wordpress_team_tree_house/hallo-wereld/"><img></a>

What am i doing wrong?

Hi Bram,

have you got post thumbnails enabled in your functions,php ?

also there a few little tweaks I would be making from the above but first we need to get those images showing.

Are you following along with a course for this theme build?

Hi Bram,

I just ran into the same problem. Check the 28th line of your code:

<?php 

  $args = array(
    'post-type' => 'portfolio'
  );
  $query = new WP_Query( $args );

?>

You wrote "post_type" with a hyphen instead of an underscore.

"post-type" ≠ "post_type"
