列表结果的条件错误

Question

Apollogies first for what is likely a dumb question. I'm new to Wordpress and PHP so I'm already over my head. I am concerned about this part of the code in lists-categories-posts/default.php which checks if there's a result and give an error if not:

if ( count( $this->catlist->lcp_categories_posts) == 0 )
{
  $lcp_display_output .= '<li>No results</li>';
}

I just need a different error when there is no result but when in a particular category ('news'). I modified the error code but I'm getting identical result.

if ( count( $this->catlist->lcp_categories_posts) == 0 )
{
  if ( in_category( 'news' )) {
    $lcp_display_output .= '<li>No news results</li>';
  } else {
    $lcp_display_output .= '<li>No results</li>';
  }
}

I'm trying to filter the error but it doesn't seem to evaluate the category at all. It always falls to the last else statement.

I really need some help...sigh.

What you do here is first check the lcp_categories_posts if is empty and then you check if it is in the category news.

I think that this is always going to be false since the lcp_categories_posts will be empty and therefore it will not belong to any category.

So your check for the category should go somewhere else.
