WordPress WordPress Theme Development Custom Homepage Templates in WordPress A Static Homepage Template

Static Homepage template doesn't work

Hi there,

I have a little problem with my Home Page Template. I don't have the latest posts from portfolio on my HomePage template and the Menu Button doesn't work.

Here is my code from content-portfolio.php page:

<?php 

$num_posts = ( is_front_page() ) ? 4 : -1;

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'portfolio'
    'posts_per_page' => $num_posts  
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

?>

Code from front-page.php and page-portfolio.php

<?php get_template_part('content', 'portfolio'); ?>

Thank you.

Best regards,

Madalin

I found the problem. I forgot to put the "," afert 'post_type' => 'portfolio'

I had:

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

And It must be like:

$args = array( 'post_type' => 'portfolio', 'posts_per_page' => $num_posts
);

Good work catching it yourself. A missed ',' or ';' have certainly cost me an hour or two.
