Show message when category is empty

Hi @rollo27,

I am sorry to say I can’t understand your issue clearly. Can you please describe it more or give me a screenshot of the problem?

Waiting for your reply

Thanks for your reply!

In my application I have defined 3 categories for contributions. I inserted your Gutenberg Post Block on 3 pages. However, 1 category is initially empty, there are no posts in it. I cannot select this category in the block’s settings on the corresponding page – there is no entry for it there. Instead, all posts of all categories are displayed on this page – this is a gross mistake. It must be possible to select empty categories in the settings, and then a text should be displayed such as “There are no entries” (editable, with a class tag around it). Unfortunately I cannot show an example yet, the website is still under construction.

Sincerely
Ralph

Yes – I have the same issue. I’m wishing to show a list of relevant jobs (CPT) if available. When no listings are available I need to display a custom message.

At the moment it’s not possible to add a category if that category is empty – empty categories do not appear in the category dropdown. To set up I added a dummy post to a category, then deleted it. This resulted in the block just not appearing on the front-end.
