Add Conditional Line

  • I’m using this code to display the current users 5 recent post in a custom post type. I’m pretty noob at this, but I got it to work correctly if the current user has a post, but if they don’t I’d like to display a text like “You don’t have any questions yet, click here to submit one.”

    <h3 class="section_title"><?php _e('Recent Orders', 'woocommerce'); ?></h3>
<?php woocommerce_get_template('myaccount/my-orders.php', array( 'recent_orders' => $recent_orders )); ?>

<h3 class="section_title">Recent Questions</h3>	

<?php
$page_title = 'Contributors Page';
if ( is_user_logged_in()  && is_page($page_title) ) {
  global $current_user;
  get_currentuserinfo();
  echo 'User ID: ' . $current_user->ID . "\n";
  $args=array(
    'author' => $current_user->ID,
    'post_type' => 'knowledge-base',
    'post_status' => 'publish, private',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'caller_get_posts'=> 1
  );
  $my_query = null;
  $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
  if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
    echo 'Your Posts';
    while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
      <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
      <?php
    endwhile;
  }
  wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
}
?>

  • The if (have_posts()) statement needs an ‘else’ clause:

    if( $my_query->have_posts() ) :
   echo 'Your Posts';
   while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
      <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
      <?php
   endwhile;
else :
   // Put whatever you want for 'no posts' here
endif;

    Also note that you are not supposed to mix ‘curly braces’ as you had in your original if-statement, with colons as you had in your original while-statement.
