Hide Content Slider Without Posts

[AlanW]

Hi,

When there are no posts of a given category, the Weaver Show Slider plugin simply displays “No posts found.”

Is there a way to do either of these things if there are no posts?

1) Prevent the slider from showing up at all.

2) Display a custom message.

Your help is appreciated.

(Great plugin by the way!)

Not at this time.

Unfortunately, due to all the server issues we’re having, I really don’t have time to fix that at the moment.

However, whenever I do release an updated version of Weaver Show Posts, which should happen in a month or so to update for WP 5.2, the ‘No Posts found” message will be filtered through a filter called ‘wvr_show_posts_no_posts’. There are plugins that allow you to add filters (PHP code), and you could use this mechanism to change the message to whatever you like – including an empty string.

Very well. Thank you!

Have you added this feature yet as i would like to use it  also

Show Posts Version 1.5 has the filter as described. It should be available.

You will need to create a child theme or use a plugin that allows you to create PHP filters. The filter passes in the default wording “No Posts Found”. The replacement filter can create any text it wishes.
