OK so this is my first question posted to stackoverflow. I'm pretty new to coding, been learning Ruby on Rails for the past 3 months. There could be a few things wrong with my code but here it goes.
Basically I'm trying to get a User to Post. I'm using Devise for registration, and all of that works. But when I create a link to "Create Post" in my Header View, it tells me I don't have a route matching => even though I think it exists. I'm missing something small I believe but in all the debugging I've done to try and get it right, I think I might have messed something else up along the way. Below is attached my code for the routes.rb, my post_controller file, and my layout view file. Sorry about all the rambling, I couldn't be very concise. Does anyone see anything wrong? Let me know if you need to see other code
_header.html.erb
<% if user_signed_in? %>
Signed in as <%= current_user.username %>. Not you?
<%= link_to "Logout", destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete, %>
<%= link_to "Create Post", new_user_post_path %>
<%= link_to "Search", posts_index_path %>
<%= link_to "Show All", posts_show_path %>
