WebApi PUT does not work when the method has variables MVC 4 - asp.net-mvc-4

Question

I'm new to WebApi and the tutorial was going well. I got Get, Get with variables, Post, and Delete to work, but I can't seem to get Put to work. Well, if I remove all the variables from the method the in the controller, it actually goes into the method, but that's pretty useless. Has anyone come across this before that knows how to fix it?
PUT Url sent to Postman:

Change your action to Put(string id) or Put([FromUri(Name="id")]string guid)
