"No related posts found" text not showing up

    Hello again ??

    I’ve got a little problem using the shortcode:

    [related_posts_by_tax include_terms=”628″ taxonomies=”post_tag” post_types=”post” format=”links” title=”” orderby=”post_date” order=”DESC”]

    when there is something to display, links are displaying correctly, but when there is nothing, it is displaying… nothing.

    I would like it to show the following message:
    “No related posts found”
    (for links, and thumbnails shortcodes too)

    How can I do that? ??

    In my related-post-links.php there is this piece of code 

    <?php else : ?>
<p><?php _e( 'No related posts found', 'related-posts-by-taxonomy' ); ?></p>
<?php endif ?>

    So I don’t understand why this message is not displaying…
    Could you help me?
    thank you very much ??

    The template is never called if there are no related posts found.

    As of now this is only possible for the widget with the related_posts_by_taxonomy_widget_hide_empty filter.

    I will create the same for the shortcode and will put it in a beta version of the plugin after this weekend.

    If you’re using your own templates, and cannot wait that long, put this in your theme’s functions.php as a workaround:

    add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy',  'rpbt_show_empty_shortcode', 15, 4 );

function rpbt_show_empty_shortcode( $results, $post_id, $taxonomies, $args ) {

	// for shortcode only
	if ( ! ( isset( $args['type'] ) && ( 'shortcode' === $args['type'] ) ) ) {
		return $results;
	}

	// change empty array to "no_posts_found"
	if ( empty( $results ) ) {
		return 'no_posts_found';
	}

	return $results;
}

    and change this in your “related-post-links.php” template:

    <?php if ( $related_posts ) : ?>

    to this

    <?php if ( $related_posts && is_array( $related_posts ) ) : ?>
