    Ok here goes…

    I’m new to php and wordpress been working on it for about 4 months and taught myself quite a bit…

    I am trying to develop a new theme so far I have done everything correctly without errors…

    However i am now trying to create a new custom post type names portfolio using the tutorial on the below page:

    https://teamtreehouse.com/blog/create-your-first-wordpress-custom-post-type

    i did everything as explained in the tutorial and added 2 extra fields “Image Url” and “Month” my final code looks like this in my dev site:

    /*******************************
     Custom Post Type - Portfolio
    ********************************/
    
    add_action('init', 'portfolio_register');
    
    function portfolio_register() {
    
    	$labels = array(
    		'name' => _x('My Portfolio', 'post type general name'),
    		'singular_name' => _x('Portfolio Item', 'post type singular name'),
    		'add_new' => _x('Add New', 'portfolio item'),
    		'add_new_item' => __('Add New Portfolio Item'),
    		'edit_item' => __('Edit Portfolio Item'),
    		'new_item' => __('New Portfolio Item'),
    		'view_item' => __('View Portfolio Item'),
    		'search_items' => __('Search Portfolio'),
    		'not_found' =>  __('Nothing found'),
    		'not_found_in_trash' => __('Nothing found in Trash'),
    		'parent_item_colon' => ''
    	);
    
    	$args = array(
    		'labels' => $labels,
    		'public' => true,

    	  ); 
    
    	register_post_type( 'portfolio' , $args );
    
        flush_rewrite_rules();
    }
    
    register_taxonomy("Skills", array("portfolio"), array("hierarchical" => true, "label" => "Skills", "singular_label" => "Skill", "rewrite" => true));
    
    add_action("admin_init", "admin_init");

      $custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);
      $year_completed = $custom["year_completed"][0];
      ?>
      <label>Year:</label>

      switch ($column) {
        case "description":
          the_excerpt();
          break;
        case "year":
          $custom = get_post_custom();
          echo $custom["year_completed"][0];

          echo get_the_term_list($post->ID, 'Skills', '', ', ','');
          break;
      }
    }

    When creating a new portfolio item, the portfolio item is not displayed when visiting the permalink…

    I then enabled the wp debug and got the below error:

    Notice: wp_enqueue_script was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or init hooks. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.3.) in C:\Sites\site\wp-includes\functions.php on line 2825

    On the same subject my breadcrums is also not working now…

    I get the below error for breadcrumbs:

    Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in C:\Sites\site\wp-content\themes\theme\functions.php on line 834 Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in C:\Sites\site\wp-content\themes\theme\functions.php on line 835

    The functions.php breadcrumbs code is refered to is:

    } elseif ( is_single() ) {
          $cat = get_the_category(); $cat = $cat[0];
          echo '<li>' .get_category_parents($cat, FALSE, '<li>'); //fails here this is line 835
          the_title(); echo' <strong><span style="font-size : 10px;">* YOU ARE CURRENTLY HERE!</span></strong></li>';
          echo $currentAfter;

    Please someone help!! I am going insane here…
