# adding category to "if no posts"

 * I have a custom post type with custom categories. I’ve created a custom taxonomy
   page for the categories as well. I want to have a line of code that will say “
   we’re sorry we dont have any [categoryname] at the moment.”
 * this error code would list the actual category name though. so if the user were
   on “product_category/topicals/” it would say “we’re sorry we dont have any topicals
   at the moment.”
 * i put this code at the end of my lopp after the end while. but it’s AFTER my 
   loop so it doesn’t show a category
 *     ```
       <?php
       endwhile;
       else :
       // If no content, include the "No posts found" error.
       echo "<h1 class='center'>We currently don't have any selection of this type available.</h1><p class='center'>Please check back soon!</p>";
       endif;
       ?>
       ```
   
 * is there any way to do this?
