    Hi, i want to add a message so if a catagory doesnt have any posts a message is display saying so, “sorry no posts”.

    Im am using a list of conditional staments for a sidebar and would like to use it here:

    <ul class="rightcol">
<?php global $post; $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=10&amp;category=18'); foreach($myposts as $post) :?>
<li><span class="threecolsmall"><?php the_time('j M y') ?></span><br />
<a href='<?php the_permalink() ?>'><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

    not sure how to add this into the PHP.

  • Hi
    try this code

    <ul class="rightcol">
<?php
$myposts = new WP_Query();
$myposts->query('showposts=10&amp;cat=18');

if ($myposts->post_count == 0) { ?>
   <li>sorry no posts</li>
<?php } else {
  while ($myposts->have_posts()) : $myposts->the_post(); ?>
    <li><span class="threecolsmall"><?php the_time('j M y') ?></span><br />
    <a href='<?php the_permalink() ?>'><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
  <?php endwhile;
} ?>
</ul>
