First, on my primary menu I added the blogs, book content types as so.

Site building > Menus > Primary links > Add item

I set my Path for blog & the Menu link title as Blogs (the same for settings were used for book). Which works perfectly, I'm now taking to the page where all my blog post & all my book post live as a "parent" page.

However, after i created my 2 new content types Portfolio & News, I tried to assign them to my primary menu as before but i keep getting this error.

**The Path 'news' is either invalid or you do not have access to it.**

Could this be a read/write permission error? I kept all files default, so i figured i would have gotten some errors along time ago if it was.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

PLUS: I did add content to my Portfolio first before I tried assigning it to a menu (so it would have content populated first) that didn't work, so when i created the News I didn't create content but get the same error.

Simply adding some content does not create the /portfolio or /news paths (the way the blog module does). People usually use the views module to make that type of index url. See Creating Hackable URLs (Index Aliases) Using Pathauto and Views for an excellent video on how to do it. Its for d5, so the UI is a bit different, but the concepts are the same.
