 * Im working a portfolio website and for some reason this PHP isn’t working for
   me.
    The site is basically a one pager, and I need to loop through each category
   within a custom post type (Portfolio) which is working, but my WP query that 
   goes through each category isn’t working for some reason. Anyone have insight?
 * thanks!

 * Also, I should note that I did a print_r($the_query); and it returned all the
   stuff you would expect, so it seems to be specifically the while loop that isn’t
   working for some reason.
 * Its also not an issue with my custom field, because I tried echoing out some 
   random text inside the loop and that didnt work.

 * Figured it out. Had to add the post type to the query.
