This course really needs to be updated. Click if your Back to Portfolio Link is not working

The teacher (Zac) left Treehouse in 2015 so it hasn't been updated since then. I asked Treehouse what the future beholds and got this reply:

"We are currently in the process of going through our Wordpress content to remove any courses that are no longer relevant. We will also be adding and updating materials over the next few months as well. Please be sure to keep an eye on our Roadmap for updates!"

I share your sentiments kelley riley, I was working up to the point that I could theme WordPress templates.

I share the same feelings guys, It's a shame especially for someone with Teamtreehouse reputation. I joined the membership especially for the WordPress track to find out that a lot of things are outdated. As for the course, I thought I might find different standard, I followed a Udemy course that was more easy to understand for basic WordPress Theme development - I don't know about the rest of the courses but The WordPress Theme development it's not explained how it should be from my point of view. Some things are not explained how they should be or at all. I have heard good things about Teamthreehouse but so far I am a bit disappointed. I will stick around a bit more and try to finish the WordPress track but they definitely should do something and update their courses even if some of their teachers are not with them anymore...appologies for the long rant but it's not acceptable to pay for a monthly membership and find a course that has a lot thing out of date.

And at the same time, he could choose a better-styled theme...those portfolio pages are looking very unprofessional...I know it's a course on development but still displaying those images it's giving me the feeling that it's definitely something wrong with that theme. Just my opinion

A qusetion..If we don't have to add custom post types code to our theme if I want to give my theme to someone else or sell it, and that someone doesn't have the Custom Post Type UI plugin how will be the portfolio Custom Post Type displayed? Am I missing something or this is a more advanced topic?

open your portfolio page and check the address bar , mine is

http://localhost/php%20for%20wordpress/?page_id=34

and then edit your code like this ->

<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/?page_id=34">Back to the Portfolio</a>

it worked for me this way . however , when i changed my permalink setting to post name , i kept getting this 404 error which i couldn't fix even till now! so i reset my permalink setting to plain , and then edited my code this way . hope it helped.

ps : yes i do agree they really need to update this course . this is the first track i started here in treehouse and i'm thinking if other tracks like front end web development or javascript full stack course is up to date or not . hope they are .
