The error message "undefined is not a function" occurred in Protractor and the operation failed

I've searched through multiple posts but haven't been able to find a solution.

HTML:

<div class="col-xs-3" ng-repeat="post in posts track by $index">
    <div class="well">
        <h3 class="postTitle">
            <a ui-sref="singlePost({id:post.id,permalink:post.permalink})">
                {{post.title}}
            </a>
        </h3>
        <h5>By: {{post.author}} | {{post.datePublished}}</h5>
    </div>
</div>

scenario.js:

'use strict';

/* https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/docs/toc.md */

describe('The Single Page Blogger E2E Test', function() {
  var ptor = browser; // browser === protractor.getInstance();
  // ptor.get('/'); //go to http://localhost:8000

  beforeEach(function() {
    ptor.get('app');
  });

 it('Should have 4 posts', function() {
   var posts = element.all(by.repeater('post in posts'));
   expect(posts.count()).toBe(4); // we have 4 hard coded posts
 });

it('Should redirect to #/posts/1/sample-title1', function() {
  var posts = element.all(by.repeater('post in posts'));

  posts.first().then(function(postElem) {
    postElem.findElement(by.tagName('a')).then(function(a) {
      a.click(); //click the title link of 1st post
      expect(ptor.getCurrentUrl()).toMatch('/posts/1/simple-title1');
    });
  });
 });
});

protractor.conf.js:

exports.config = {
  allScriptsTimeout: 11000,

  specs: [
    'specs/*.js'
  ],

  capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome'
  },

  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:8000',

  framework: 'jasmine2',

  jasmineNodeOpts: {
    onComplete: null,
    isVerbose: true,
    showColors: true,
    includeStackTrace: true,
    defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000
  }
};

This terminal log provides an overview of the process:

<p>Line 22:19 points to <strong>then</strong> in <code>posts.first().then(function(postElem) {});.

The issue seems to be related to the chaining of functions with then. I followed guidance from Stack Overflow and the Protractor API guide that indicate it should work, but encountering this error nonetheless. Any help or insight would be appreciated!
