 * So I have this chunk of code in my right sidebar. I want to hise the entire module
   if there are no posts found instead of displaying “no posts found”. How would
   I go about doing this? Please incorporate your code into mine below if possible.
   i really appreciate any assistance you awesome wordpressers can provide!
 *     ```
       <div id="popularApps" class="module">
           <h3>Popular Sleep Apps</h3>
           <div class="moduleContent">
             <?php $query = array ( 'post_type' => 'affiliates', 'affiliatetype' => 'apps', 'category__in' => $post_categories, 'posts_per_page' => 3 ); ?>
             <?php $queryObject = new WP_Query($query); ?>
             <?php if ($queryObject->have_posts()) : while ($queryObject->have_posts()) : $queryObject->the_post(); ?>
             <div class="entry"><a href="/affiliates/<?php echo basename(get_permalink()); ?>/"><?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), array(43,43)); ?>
               <p><?php if (strlen($post->post_title) > 24) { echo substr(the_title($before = '', $after = '', FALSE), 0, 24) . '...'; } else { the_title();} ?></p></a>
               <div class="clear"></div>
             </div>
             <?php endwhile; else: ?>
             <p>No Apps are available at this time</p>
             <?php endif; ?>
             <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
           </div>
           <div class="moduleFooter"><a href="/affiliates/apps/">View More</a>
             <div class="clear"></div>
           </div>
         </div>
       ```

           <h3>Popular Sleep Apps</h3>
           <div class="moduleContent">
             <?php if ($queryObject->have_posts()) : while ($queryObject->have_posts()) : $queryObject->the_post(); ?>

        <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
