I have the following:

$queryResponse = new \\WP_Query(array(
    \'post_type\' => \'portfolio\',
    \'tax_query\' => array(
        array(
            \'taxonomy\' => \'portfolio_date\',
            \'field\'    => \'name\',
            \'term\'     => $dateSelected
        )
    )
));

var_dump($queryResponse);

$dateSelected is \'2015\'.

I want: All posts from post type of portfolio with a custom taxonomy of portfolio_date (Actual name: Portfolio Date. This is what the user sees) that has the value of, in this case, 2015.

So if I create 6 posts under portfolio, with the portfolio date of 2015, I should get back 6 posts. Right now I get: 0 posts.

I do have 1 post under this post type with this taxonomy.
