To hide heading if there no related post

There is!
In YARPP settings, under “Display options for your website”, find the setting “Default display if no results:” and clear out the text. Then nothing will display when there are no related posts ??

Let us know how it goes!

The problem is that there is another function above, “Heading”, and I use it. I would like that there will be heading if there are related posts and there will be no heading if there are no related posts.

Aha, ok. For thumbnails, for now you would need to use a custom template, which is a little technical, but here’s the steps:

Click to copy the templates, choose the thumbnails custom template, then modify wp-content/themes/{yourtheme}/yarpp-template-thumbnail.php to be the following:

<?php
/*
 * Copy of YARPP's built-in thumbnails template, except the heading is only shown if any related posts are found.
 */

if ( !$this->diagnostic_using_thumbnails() )
	$this->set_option( 'manually_using_thumbnails', true );

$options = array( 'thumbnails_heading', 'thumbnails_default', 'no_results' );
extract( $this->parse_args( $args, $options ) );

// a little easter egg: if the default image URL is left blank,
// default to the theme's header image. (hopefully it has one)
if ( empty($thumbnails_default) )
	$thumbnails_default = get_header_image();

$dimensions = $this->thumbnail_dimensions();

if (have_posts()) {
	$output .= '<h3>' . $thumbnails_heading . '</h3>' . "\n";
	$output .= '<div class="yarpp-thumbnails-horizontal">' . "\n";
	while (have_posts()) {
		the_post();

		$output .= "<a class='yarpp-thumbnail' rel='norewrite' href='" . get_permalink() . "' title='" . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . "'>" . "\n";

		$post_thumbnail_html = '';
		if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
			if ( $this->diagnostic_generate_thumbnails() )
				$this->ensure_resized_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), $dimensions );
			$post_thumbnail_html = get_the_post_thumbnail(null, $dimensions['size'], array('data-pin-nopin' => 'true') );
		}

		if ( trim($post_thumbnail_html) != '' )
			$output .= $post_thumbnail_html;
		else
			$output .= '<span class="yarpp-thumbnail-default"><img src="' . esc_url($thumbnails_default) . '" alt="Default Thumbnail" data-pin-nopin="true" /></span>';

		$output .= '<span class="yarpp-thumbnail-title">' . get_the_title() . '</span>';
		$output .= '</a>' . "\n";

	}
	$output .= "</div>\n";
} else {
	$output .= $no_results;
}

$this->enqueue_thumbnails( $dimensions );

That makes the thumbnail template exactly like the default thumbnails template, except it only shows the heading if there are any related posts.

It works, thanks! It would be convenient if you add such an option as a selectable item in settings in future updates.

Great! That’s a good idea, thanks. I agree that would be better than this entire code snippet, which not everyone is comfortable using.
