15,192 PointsGetting Wrong Kind Of Post
Hey everyone,
I'm having problems with the query posts. I'm getting the normal posts and not the work project posts. Here is part of my work.php. Can anyone help?
<?php
$args = array(
'post-type' => 'work'
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php the_field( 'description' ); ?>
<hr>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p>There are no posts or pages here. :)</p>
<?php endif; ?>
```

Treehouse Guest TeacherHi!
Do you have this at the top of your code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Work Page
*/
get_header(); ?>
And when you edit the Work page from you admin area have selected the Work Page template from template dropdown?

15,192 PointsI did all of those things and even copy/pasted the code above and it's still displaying the wrong posts. I'm not really sure what it is. It might be a small typo or something. Here's my full work.php page:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Work Page
*/
get_header(); ?>
<p>This is the work.php file.</p>
<?php
$args = array(
'post-type' => 'work'
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php the_field( 'description' ); ?>
<hr>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p>There are no posts or pages here. :)</p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

15,192 PointsOh I was right. I just noticed it. I made a typo where it was suppose to be _ instead of -.
