You connected the feed to the porch light to the switched side of the fan switch. It needs to be on the constant hot screw/lead of the fan switch.

I have been trying to figure this out for a while, i put in a new ceiling fan and it works fine but there is a catch I have a porch light now the does not come on without the ceiling fan on and the same for some of the receptacles??

the switch is has 2 sliders one for the fan and the light
black to black
black to red
red to yellow

and then 2 way wire goes out to the the there light switch at the patio
have i cross a wire or is there a way to test the switch?
