An archive of a custom post type is displayed using archive-[posttype].php
or archive.php
if the first does not exist (see the Template Hierarchy for the full details). page-[posttype].php
is only used if you create a “dummy” page to show a custom post type archive (before WordPress 3.1).
So in your case you should rename page-portfolio.php
to archive-portfolio.php
, and don’t include a header to indicate a page template name.
