Hide ticker when no posts is found in that category?

Hello Wdrescher!

Sorry for late reply. We have no settings for this feature, but you can use a custom code for it.

<?php if (in_category( 'category slug' )) : ?>
<?php do_action('show_bnt'); ?>
<?php endif;?>

or if shortcode:

<?php if (in_category( 'category slug' )) : ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode([breaking_news_ticker]'); ?>
<?php endif;?>

ex:

<?php if (in_category( 'press' )) : ?>
<?php do_action('show_bnt'); ?>
<?php endif;?>

Note: the post only publish in selecting category.

I added this to my functions php to render my own shortcode:

function breakingnews_shortcode() {

	if (in_category( 'breaking' )) :
	do_action('show_bnt');
	endif;

}
add_shortcode( 'breakingnews', 'breakingnews_shortcode' );

Then I put [breakingnews] in to my home page and it doesn’t render anything even when there’s a post in that category.
