Question

i have this code to get some elements from wordpress

global $post;

$i=0;

$args = array( 'numberposts' => 5, 'category' =>5,'order'=>'DESC','orderby'=>'post_date','suppress_filters' => 0 );

$myposts = get_posts( $args );
$has_posts = true;

foreach( $myposts as $post ) :  setup_postdata($post); ?>


<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?>

<li>

<?php if($image){ ?>


<div class="news_left"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" alt="" width="191" height="132" /></a></div>

<?php } ?>

<?php
    $content = apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content());
    $content = explode("</p>", $content);
?>

<div class="news_right">

    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

    <span class="date">Date: <?php the_time('j/m/Y') ?></span>

    <?php echo $content[1] . "</p>";//echo String::content_limit(200,'<p>'); ?>

    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read More</a>

</div> 

<div class="clear"></div>   

</li>

<?php $i++; endforeach; ?>

Answer 1

<?php
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
if($myposts){
    //found posts
}else{
    //no posts
}
?>

UPDATE: PLEASE check if the code works probably and THEN compare it with your code, i have commented on the changes i made, so its your chance to learn:

$i=0;

$args = array( 'numberposts' => 5, 'category' =>5,'order'=>'DESC','orderby'=>'post_date','suppress_filters' => 0 );

$myposts = get_posts( $args );

//check if $myposts
if(!$myposts){
    //the $myposts has no posts, print the error message
    echo "<li>";
    echo "This category has zero posts";
    echo "</li>";
}else{
    //the category has one more or more posts
    $has_posts = true;
    foreach( $myposts as $post ) :  setup_postdata($post); ?>


    <?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?>

    <li>

    <?php if($image){ ?>


    <div class="news_left"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" alt="" width="191" height="132" /></a></div>

    <?php } ?>

    <?php
        $content = apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content());
        $content = explode("</p>", $content);
    ?>

    <div class="news_right">

        <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

        <span class="date">Date: <?php the_time('j/m/Y') ?></span>

        <?php echo $content[1] . "</p>";//echo String::content_limit(200,'<p>'); ?>

        <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read More</a>

    </div> 

    <div class="clear"></div>   

    </li>

<?php
    $i++; endforeach; 
}
?>
